<p>The Equality Act 2010 already protects against direct and indirect age discrimination
in recruitment and employment, and makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate
against an employee or a job applicant because of their age, unless the employer can
justify it as a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.</p><p> </p><p>Anyone
who believes that they have been discriminated against on account of their age can
seek advice from the Equality Advisory Support Service at <a href="http://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/app/ask"
target="_blank">http://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/app/ask</a>; on Freephone Telephone
0808 800 0082; or, by text phone on 0808 800 0084, in considering whether to seek
redress in a court or tribunal.</p>
