While the Act aims to protect individuals from such discrimination, it does include exceptions, such as the lack of protection for students in school settings. Age discrimination can be a single action or the result of a policy and doesn&#8217;t need to be intentional to be considered unlawful. However, there are scenarios where age-based treatment is lawful, which we will explore below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What the Equality Act Says About Age Discrimination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Equality Act 2010 specifies that discrimination on the basis of age is unlawful. This applies if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You are (or are not) a certain age or in a certain age group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Someone assumes you are (or are not) a specific age or age group, known as discrimination by perception.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are associated with someone of a specific age or age group, known as discrimination by association.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Age groups can range from broad categories like &#8216;people under 50&#8217; to specific ones such as &#8216;people in their mid-40s&#8217;. Terms like \u2018young person\u2019 or \u2018pensioner\u2019 also indicate specific age groups.<strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Different Types of Age Discrimination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four main types of age discrimination:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Direct Discrimination<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This occurs when someone treats you worse than another person in a similar situation because of your age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> Your employer refuses to let you attend a training course because they think you are &#8216;too old&#8217;, while younger colleagues are allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct age discrimination is allowed if the organisation or employer can provide a good reason for it, known as objective justification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples of Objective Justification:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A building company not hiring under-18s for safety reasons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A guest house charging higher rates for under-21s to deter potential damage but failing to justify it adequately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Indirect Discrimination<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This happens when a policy or practice that applies to everyone puts people of your age group at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A promotion policy requiring a postgraduate qualification, disadvantaging younger employees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An optician requiring employment for payment instalments, disadvantaging older, likely retired customers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Like direct discrimination, indirect discrimination can be lawful if there is objective justification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Harassment<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Harassment is behaviour that humiliates, offends, or degrades you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> During a training session, a trainer repeatedly comments on an older employee&#8217;s slower learning pace due to age, causing distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harassment cannot be justified, although an organisation might avoid liability if it took all possible steps to prevent such behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Victimisation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Victimisation occurs when you are treated badly because you complained about age discrimination or supported someone who did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> You help a colleague complain about ageist remarks at work and face poor treatment from your manager as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lawful Age-Based Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are specific circumstances where age-based treatment is lawful, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Occupational Requirements:<\/strong> Certain roles necessitate a specific age, such as a young actor for a role in a film.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Positive Action:<\/strong> Measures to support under-represented or disadvantaged age groups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Objective Justification:<\/strong> An employer may set a compulsory retirement age if it can be clearly justified for the role.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exceptions in the Equality Act:<\/strong> Certain employment or service provisions based on age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Age-Related Concessions:<\/strong> Offering benefits like discounted cinema tickets for seniors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Financial Services:<\/strong> Using age to determine service offerings, such as higher interest rates for senior savings accounts. Age limits for insurance must be supported by reliable risk assessments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding these nuances helps in recognising and challenging age discrimination while acknowledging when age-based treatment is legally justified. By promoting awareness and adherence to the Equality Act, we can work towards a fairer, more inclusive society for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Age is a protected characteristic in the Equality Act.
