As a former social worker, I used to take advantage of the Blue Light Card discount scheme for public service employees. SH, StockportThe Blue Light Card scheme offers discounts to emergency service workers, NHS staff, social care workers, and armed forces members. The Blue Light Card team emphasizes the importance of member verification to secure market-leading discounts. Unfortunately, there is currently no standardized and consistent form of ID for retired social care workers, making it impossible to complete the verification process. Blue Light Card states that they would happily review this if there were changes in the future.
