Press Release from Government Equalities Office: Banning age discrimination: consultation launched (29/06/09)
The Government Equalities Office (GEO) today outlined further proposals for a new legal ban on harmful age discrimination, which will make sure older people do not face unfair or substandard treatment when they are buying goods or using services, such as in shops, hospitals, or when accessing car and holiday insurance[1].
The consultation published today “Equality Bill: Making it work - ending age discrimination in services and public functions” sets out how the legislation will enable things that are beneficial to continue such as age-based holidays and discounts for pensioners.

Launch of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) Community Safety Forum’s “Safety In Numbers Training Pack”
Thursday 30th July 2009, City Chambers, Satinwood Suite, Glasgow
9:30am - 12:30pm
In 2006 the LGBT Community Safety Forum worked in partnership with students from the Central College of Commerce to create a short film exploring LGBT people’s experiences of safety in Glasgow. The film was made and called Safety In Numbers. Everyone that has seen the film speaks very highly of it and it has been well received. The Community Safety Forum decided to try to build on the success of the film and create a training pack that compliments it. That training pack is now ready and we would like to invite you or a representative from your organisation to come along to the launch.
