    Costs
    This event is free to attend but to encourage attendance and try and ensure a good turnout to benefit all delegates, we will charge a non-attendance fee of £20.00 per delegate. By submitting a booking for this event you agree to pay this fee for those delegates who have places booked but do not attend.

    Cancellations can be received up to 5 working days ahead of the event, thus avoiding non-attendance fees. A cancellation will only be valid if we have confirmed it with you. You can send somebody else in place of a booked delegate without incurring a non-attendance fee.


    It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.

    AGE Scotland – Age Awareness and the Workplace

    This course aims to assist employers in understanding the issues regarding how their workforce relates to older working colleagues.

    This course is intended to encourage employers to:

    • Consider appropriate engagement and communication with older colleagues and clients
    • Prepare managers and personnel staff for effective response should ageism become a “live” workplace issue
    • Develop strategies for minimising risk associated with age diversity, including legal compliance
    • Consider how to foster a positive working culture in which staff of all ages feel supported by both their employer and co-workers

    All sessions include interactive learning and discussion.

    Specific topics covered include: 

    • Changing demographics
    • What is ageing?
    • Cognitive changes with ageing
    • Perspectives of ageing
    • Reactive behaviours
    • Successful ageing
    • The importance of physical activity in the workplace

    Who should attend?

    This course is open to all voluntary sector employers.
