You are on the Age Diversity page
Did you know that age discrimination is thought as fairly or very serious by 43% of people in the UK?
Sometimes we stereotype on the basis of someone's age. For instance older people are often wrongly perceived to be unable to learn or change and younger people as inexperienced or immature. Young or old - every age is welcome and represented at the University.

We do this for age:
The Age Advisory Group current objectives are:
-
Promoting good practice in relation to under - 18s on campus
-
Reviewing the viability of introducing apprenticeships
-
Reviewing the staff retirement policy
It is unacceptable and unlawful to make judgements or comments based upon these perceptions. Ageist comments or jokes can also be interpreted as a form of harassment if it is perceived as or has the purpose or effect of violating another person's dignity; or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for the other person. Therefore you need to consider the potential effects of any ageist banter that you may engage with on others around you. Not everyone who may object to it will let you know.
