A FORMER trainee police officer is suing Scotland's biggest police force over claims she was discriminated against because of her age and gender.
Claire Simpson, 21, alleges when she was a cadet at Hamilton Police office she was asked if she had brought her crayons to work which made her feel "like a toddler".
She claims that as the youngest female student at the Scottish Police College in Tullialan, she was told not to wear make-up despite other officers wearing it.
