Show 389. Hilary Cass

Baroness Cass didn't expect to end up in the House of Lords. She began her career as a paediatrician, a career path that culminated in her publishing the Cass Review into Gender Identity Services. This is a thoughtful and empathetic analysis of the experiences of vulnerable young people. Hilary takes us inside the report and her findings. She also makes a compelling case for banning social media for under 16s... and tells us what it's like being a newbie in the Upper Chamber.
