This consultation sets out policy proposals to protect adults and young people aged 16 years and over from discrimination on the basis of age in relation to goods, facilities and services, charities, premises, education, public functions, and private clubs and associations. The scope of the proposals is therefore broader than goods, facilities and services alone. The proposals also cover health and social care and financial services, setting out the evidence of current discriminatory practice, scope and exceptions of proposals and how these would work in practice. The consultation ends on 8 October 2015. (Edited publisher abstract)

As part of the Promoting Social Inclusion (PSI) initiative of New Targeting Social Need (TSN), a commitment was given in the Programme for Government that the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) would establish a Working Group to consider the factors that cause Older People to be at risk of exclusion. The PSI Working Group on Older People was established in 2002 and was made up of representatives from Northern Ireland departments, the wider public sector, the voluntary sector and organisations representing older people. This document sets out the approach to be taken by Government to promote and support the inclusion of older people in Northern Ireland. An action plan for the financial year 2005/06 has been established and will be actioned during the course of the year.
