ONLINE 9am-1pm
A recent addition to our set of online courses looking at protected characteristics under the Equality Act, this half-day course will talk about discrimination on the basis of age.
The course will look at the meaning of 'age' under the Equality Act; the unique defence to direct age discrimination; and common age-related stereotypes.
It will cover scenarios where age discrimination commonly arises in practice, particularly in relation to redundancy.
The course will be delivered virtually over Microsoft Teams, 9am - 1pm on Wednesday 11 November 2026.
