| Annotation | Young Equals is a group of charities and children who are campaigning to stop age discrimination. The group is coordinated by the Children's Rights Alliance for England, while 11 Million, the Children's Commissioner for England, and the Equality and Human Rights Commission have observer status. The Equality Bill going through Parliament proposes to extend age discrimination protection to cover the provision of goods, facilities and services. However, protection for children is currently excluded from the proposed legislation. This publication brings together evidence showing why children need protection against age discrimination. The evidence cited relates to lack of: equal access to: public buildings and public transport for babies and young children; healthcare; child protection; justice; public leisure facilities; shops and restaurants; and public transport for older children. The publication was coordinated and written by the Children's Rights Alliance for England, and funded by Save the Children UK. (RH). |
