Air date: Mar 26, 2012

BBC Scotland Investigates goes behind closed doors to find out what it's really like to be a carer. There are more than half a million people in Scotland looking after relatives with a disability. Reporter Fiona Walker enters the world of carers and spends time with two families who are struggling to carry on caring for a loved one. They describe a role that is virtually unpaid and often undervalued.
