Age Equality Scheme 2009 - 2012
The Age Equality Scheme is part of a wider equality policy
and commitment (that includes race, gender, disability, age,
religion and belief and sexual orientation) in relation to
the delivery of services and the employment of
staff.
The Council's Age Equality Scheme from 2009 - 2012 can be

Age Equality Scheme Consultation
Bath & North East (B&NES) Council commissioned external
researchers to consult with citizens and employees of different age
groups to inform the development of an Age Equality Scheme, which
will form one strand of a Single Equalities Scheme being adopted by
the Council.
The consultation aimed to both highlight areas where current
Council policies and practices may not be in line with current and
forthcoming legislation, and to take a more inclusive view of age
equality issues, through an exploration of the subjective
experience of living within, or being employed by, B&NES at
different stages of the life course.
