Age Discrimination & Opportunities

With four in ten unemployed older workers out of work for more than a year, Age UK and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) are launching a best practice protocol which aims to end age discrimination in recruitment and to give older people a better chance of finding work.

The guide sets out a series of recommendations which are intended to ensure older job seekers are not overlooked during the recruitment process and are given the best opportunity to find work.
