Why Does Age Discrimination Happen?
Age discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly because of their age.
This is illegal under the Equality Act 2010, which protects workers of all ages from being discriminated against in various ways, including:
- During Recruitment: Being passed over for a role due to your age.
- Promotion or Training: Missing out on opportunities because of assumptions about your ability.
- Redundancy or Dismissal: Being targeted for redundancy or let go unfairly because of your age.
