In theory it's good as it removes prejudice and allows 'natural selection' to run your work pool.
In reality it is a nightmare and will be openly abused like the disability and other discrimination laws.
It is another nail in the small company coffin.
Until small companies are exempt from these stupid sweeping laws for the weak, feeble and lazy then this country will continue to be stiffled and controlled by big industry.

Or, you could just read the actual phrasing, rather than the Daily Mail interpretation. You are allowed to advertise on a basis of age and or experience, if you can properly justify the phrasing.
Thus, if it takes seven years to train as an architect, you can ask for seven years experience. If you want someone over 35, think about why, and as long as it makes common sense, feel free to advertise for someone mature to employ.

More senseless tripe from the meddling nothingistas.
I was saying to my not-exactly left wing associate yesterday, as the spiral into the capital's grim, outer reaches defined the final trajectory of our miserable descent therein whilst suffering the awful but masochistically compelling, overwhelming leftism of R4.
Basically, it's a bloody liberty, quite frankly, for a bunch of jumped up trots to start telling anyone in the private sector who they can and cannot employ.
Only the raw spirit of enterprise itself can be thanked for any employment in the first place and companies should be free to exercise any and all decisions, whatever employment demographic yields forth thereafter, if they feel it in the best interests of their commercial endeavour, end of story.
What abject piffle that such a thing can be workable beyond brutal, random execution, no doubt at the hands of some appalling quango of sextugenarian, genital fiddling mong boys, whenever anybody takes umbrage at anything they find a trifle unjust viz a vis the 'work' place (I use the term in it's loosest sense since such a concept is probably borderline offensive to the sensitivities of squatters by some likely, just dreamt up sub section of the Boo Hoo Wet Bastard Commie W'nkers' Rights Act.)
Like any tossheaded notion involving the putrid aroma of positive discrimination, unless you are prepared to take the totalitarian steps to brutally legislate, firmly in favour of predetermined, preset quotas of an established socio-economic, demographic mix, the maintenance of such ideals is nobbut debilitating idiocy.
You can imagine having to compete, as an employer, to secure the services of certain individuals purely by virtue of a necessity to accord with said quango's charter for "a meaningful and inclusive workplace."
The oppressed minorities can then hawk their minority credentials around desperate employers to ensure corporate compliance whilst Billy Kwok in Shangai (my premium contact for the imporatation of inflatable lady boy) sends me an e-mail with a digital photo of his new commuto barge.
A Maybach 62 limo with the armour plating.
How can I put this, oh communist dog brigade? Ah yes -
Die!F@ck off!!

Die!F@ck off!! My initial concerns revolved around specific experience, or rather sets of behaviours, which older people tend to have and youunger people tend to have less of (for example experience of dealing in a owrk situaton where they can't walk away, with people who are aggressive or going through life changing situations like divorce). As we can relate those behaviours to the job with a proven job analysis we think we are on a sound wicket.
In summary: make sure you can justify the job criteria (which is best praxctice and common sense) and don't make assumptions about what individuals can and can't do on the basis of age.
