Age
Unlawful age discrimination happens when someone is treated unfavourably, harassed and victimised because of their age, without justification. People of all ages (both young and old) can experience age discrimination. The Equality Act 2010 makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person because of their age. This includes direct and indirect:
- discrimination
- harassment
- victimisation.
The Equality Act 2010 also removed the upper age limits on unfair dismissal and redundancy.
