From October 2006, The Employment Equality (age) Regulations make it illegal to discriminate against workers, employers, jobseekers and trainees due to their age. Direct discrimination is set out in the regulations, and states that it is unlawful, on the grounds of age, to come to a decision about employing someone or dismissing someone, refuse to provide training, deny individuals promotion and make individuals work in adverse conditions. The second form of discrimination (indirect discrimination) is related to selection criteria, benefits, policies, and various employment rules and practises which may disadvantage particular people of specific ages, unless the practise which is utilised is justified. The regulation also allows organisations to predetermine the retirement age. This therefore means that one is able to set retirement ages at or above 65.
