The Equality Reps Network was launched on 27th June 2008 with a seminar on age in the workplace.

Our key speaker was Ruth Marks, the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales. For more information about the Older People’s Commissioner and her role please follow the link in the right hand bar.

Mark Bainbridge from Thompson’s Solicitors gave an overview of the Age Regulations and developments since they came into force. The presentation and handout can be downloaded from the right hand column.
