Age Discrimination Legislation

Case Study - Ealing Family Group

Ealing Family Group provides social housing and associated services to people in need. It also runs community-development projects, and two daycare centres for members of the Asian community, particularly the elderly. The group is made up of several companies and employs more than 200 staff - a quarter of whom are aged over 50.

The organisation benefits from its overall age policy for recruiting and keeping staff members.It can employ people from the largest possible labour market because of the way in which it words its recruitment adverts and the non-discriminatory approaches it uses to interview and appoint new employees.
