Annotation	The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 came into force on 1 October 2006, since when it has been unlawful to discriminate in a work or training context on grounds of age. This guide is aimed at advisers who may need to identify or advise on a case where someone could have been discriminated against because of age in England, Scotland or Wales. It identifies what is and is not covered: there continue to be exemptions on grounds of "lawful discrimination". Discrimination issues around recruitment, retirement, redundancy and other dismissals are outlined; and case studies provide examples these different scenarios. The link www.ageconcern.org.uk/agediscriminationlaw provides further case studies. (RH).
