| Annotation | The Age Reference Group on Equality and Human Rights is a consultative group of older people's organisations (as a joint initiative of Age Concern and Help the Aged, and sponsored by the Department of Trade and Industry), which was established to inform and advise those representing older people. This discussion paper describes what happens when those who experience discrimination and disadvantage for other reasons grow old, and when age discrimination compounds other forms of inequality and disadvantage. The main examples discussed are: gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender older people; disabled older people; and black and minority ethnic (BME) older people. The forthcoming Commission for Equality and Human Rights, the independent Equalities Review and the DTI's Equality and diversity consultation process all need to consider this evidence in their work.
