within the work place. They bring up key issues such as the fact that if an employer
denies you of a job because you are too old or too young this is considered ageism
and is unlawful and illegal. They also look at the Equality act to see if your being
discriminated within the job - if someone is doing the same job as you and you are
stopped from doing that job because there is someone younger that is ageism and the
employer is at fault. They mostly work with older people as their vision is a world
