Age Discrimination Training

According to legislation produced in 2006 (the Employment Equality (Age) Regulations) employers have to, by law, conform to all legal requirements and must not use age as a consideration in various situations with their employees/prospective employees. This includes recruiting new employees and the way that they treat existing staff in terms of promotion, redundancy and retirement.
As with most discrimination legislation in place at the moment the responsibility for making sure that a company treats individuals fairly and equally may well be handled on an administrative level by the Human Resources department. It is often the case that HR managers will go on specific training courses here to learn what they can and cannot do if there is an age issue with an employee.
These courses may be given as specialist age discrimination training or this element of the discrimination process may be handled as part of a broader course that also looks at related issues such as gender and racial discrimination. It is important that companies look at this at a senior level and that they know exactly what they should be doing. If they do end up with an age discrimination claim against them then this can be costly.
