Age discrimination

The Employment Equality Regulations 2006 make it illegal for employers to discriminate against employees, trainees or job seekers because of their age and ensures that all workers, regardless of age, have the same rights in terms of training and promotion.

The Regulations cover direct and indirect discrimination, harassment and victimisation and covers both employment and training in the public and private sectors.
