Thousands of people across Scotland experience ill health, poverty and discrimination at work and in society because they are carers.  They have no substantial rights which recognise their position. Even their most basic human rights are jeopardised. Carers Scotland campaigns to end this injustice. As a carer-led organisation our campaigns are based on carers' priorities for change.
