Advanced Employment Law – Age Discrimination 2025

13 November 2025 9:00am–1:00pm

A recent addition to our set of on-line courses looking at protected characteristics under the Equality Act, this half day course will talk about discrimination on the basis of age.

This half day age discrimination 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 Thursday 13th November 2025.
