Age

On 1 October 2006 the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations Act 2006 came into force. The aim of the regulation was to prevent either direct or indirect discrimination or harassment on grounds of age. Whilst this legislation was likely to benefit primarily older workers, it was also intended to cover workers of all ages and therefore is relevant throughout the employment cycle from recruitment to retirement, whatever the age of the worker involved.

The College is committed to ensuring age equality in the following areas:

Recruitment
Promotion/Grading
Training
Retirement

For more details, please see the Retirement page.

We have developed a Single Equality Scheme and Action Plan, which will harmonise our equality policies. Please refer to our Single Equality Scheme page to download the scheme and for further details on our progress in this area.
