Background
The 2006 Age Regulations will impact on most education and training providers – not only on their employment practices but in the recruitment, retention, assessment, progression and support of their students and trainees.
These events will provide information for the various sectors concerned on the issues to be considered in all these areas to ensure better compliance with the regulations and in the run up to the implementation date.
NIACE, with other agencies, has been funded by DTI to raise awareness of the regulations through these events. NIACE will also be offering a web-based help service.
The events will also benefit from the results of a survey undertaken by NIACE for the DfES, which attempt to reveal the issues being considered by various education and training sectors as they approach 1 October 2006.
