Frequently asked questions
Age Discrimination
- I'm 18 and have a full-time job. I recently found a flat to rent after months of trying but they made my Mum go guarantor. Is that discrimination?
- My friends and I like to meet at the shopping mall. Every time we get together one of the security guards comes up and tells us to move on. He only does it because we're young. Is this discrimination?
- I recently turned 65. I didn't tell anyone how old I was, but on my birthday my boss commented that I'd just reached a milestone so he'd obviously checked my age. Since then I've noticed that he's been giving me more of the routine jobs, despite my experience, and giving the interesting work to my younger colleagues. I'm not ready to retire but feel he's trying to push me out. What are my rights?
