**WARNING – this episodes mentions the Manchester bomb attack, self-harm and death in the context of inquests**

In this episode, Alma- Constance and Lucinda discuss why some people have brought legal challenges against the police, and why it is important for people to be able to challenge organisations with power, such as the police and social media platforms.

They speak to Christian Weaver, a barrister from Garden Court North Chambers in Manchester who specialises in inquests, public inquiries, civil actions against the police and public authorities, prison law, and public law. He was ranked as a Tier 1 rising star barrister in the newly published Legal 500. He sat as the UK’s Youth Delegate to the Congress of the Council of Europe in 2017 and led Congress’ youth human rights working group. And is the author of a book ‘The Law in 60 Seconds: A Pocket Guide to Your Rights.’

He tells us about:

· the ‘Stop and Search’ powers of the police and why they can create problems for young people and your rights

· the inquest procedure and explains why social media was mentioned in a recent case.

· why there should be more education about law for young people

· the importance of diversity in the legal system

When Christian was 10 years old, he wanted to be a table tennis player!
