60: Appearance Equality & The Law

What legal and non-legal changes can we introduce to protect people with a visible difference(i.e., any condition or injury which alters appearance) from discrimination in society? Nadia speaks with Dr Hannah Saunders, Director of Studies in Law at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge about her work on appearance equality and the law and then we get an exclusive from Jade on the resource she's created for primary school teachers to help promote acceptance of appearance diversity.
