| Annotation | In February 2006, Age Concern England (ACE) held a series of three seminars to explore how protection against age discrimination might be extended to include a positive duty on public authorities and cover the provision of goods and services. The seminars were designed to inform debate about ageism and age discrimination when work by the Discrimination Law Review and the Equalities Review was in progress. This report summarises speakers' presentations and the comments and discussion that followed. Seminar One, "Ageism - what's the problem?", was designed to increase understanding of ageism and age discrimination. Papers included presentation of findings of a national survey of ageing by ACE and the University of Kent; experiences of age discrimination; media treatment of age; and ageism in healthcare. Seminar Two, "An age equality duty - shaping the framework", explored what a public sector duty on age might look like in practice, with papers focusing on the situation in Northern Ireland, and public duty on disability, race and age. Seminar Three, "Difference by design - the goods and service debate", had as its starting point the work by AGE, the European Platform on Older People, on age criteria in goods, facilities and services (GFS); discrimination in financial services and healthcare ere also considered.
