Are you ready for the new regulations on age?

Find out by attending one of our regional workshops.

New legislation on age discrimination comes into force on 1 October 2006. Whether you are a trainee, an
assistant, an associate or a partner, the new regulations will almost certainly affect you. The regulations outlaw discrimination against job applicants and employees on the basis of actual or perceived age. It is important to remember that this means all ages – not just old age. Discriminating against someone
because they are too young is just as likely to contravene the regulations.

The Law Society, working in association with ACAS, has arranged a series of workshops where you will learn about the key elements of the new regulations. Working through short case studies you will gain an
understanding of the practical implications of the regulations for your practice and how to adopt an age positive culture. You will also have the opportunity to raise queries and discuss concerns with the ACAS and Law Society speakers.
