Age equality
New rights from October 2006!
If you're an adviser, or any professional who gets asked for advice from members of the public you'll need to know about new rules outlawing age discrimination.
The Employment Equality (Age) regulations (in force from October 2006) mean that normally it's illegal to treat someone differently because of their age in employment or training.
