A newly qualified teacher is suing a local authority for thousands after claiming she experienced racism at a Lanarkshire school.
Tawia Abbam alleges she suffered "racially experienced trauma" after being targeted by staff at Cathkin High School in Cambuslang.
South Lanarkshire Council has launched an investigation ahead of an employment tribunal scheduled for later this year.
Ms Abbam is seeking damages totaling £13,664 for 'injury to feelings' after alleging she experienced direct and indirect discrimination on the grounds of her race, stated in tribunal documents as 'Black racial group'.
