Ageism can also mean that older people are discriminated against when trying to access the services, facilities and opportunities they need to help them to age well.  

Before the Covid19 pandemic, the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales delivered training sessions for older people and those that work with them to help recognise and challenge ageism and age discrimination. The training has now been adapted to an online session specifically for older people   

The session will be run on Zoom and will last for two hours including a break. The session will be held on 29 June 11am-1pm. 

If you are over 60 and would like to book a place at the session, please use the link below;

The Commissioner has also developed a new information leaflet - Taking Action Against Ageism - which includes a wide range of information about how to recognise and challenge ageism and age discrimination. If you would like to request copies of the leaflet, please let us know.   

We are also developing training for those who work with older people and we will share more information on this when it is available.
