Age Discrimination Legislation

default-16x9

It has been argued that these will be the hardest equality regulations to implement, as ageism is so embedded in UK culture. Cherie Booth has also said age will be the big employment law issue over the next few years.

How are organisations planning to make staff aware of the new regulations?

At http://www.age2006.org I have contributed some low cost blended and e-learning ideas but would be interested in what others are doing or planning to do.
