Make sure children aren’t shut out from the Equality Bill

Make sure children aren’t shut out from the Equality Bill: Email your MP and complete the Young Equals survey

Young Equals is a group of charities and children and young people who are campaigning to stop age discrimination.

Tell your MP that under-18s should not be excluded from age discrimination protection in the Equality Bill. Your email will help raise awareness of age discrimination against children and young people and could make a real difference as these issues are debated in Parliament. Email your MP here.

Take part in the Young Equals survey: Have you been treated unfairly because of your age?Young Equals is gathering evidence of harmful age discrimination against under-18s and wants to hear about your experiences. If you are 18+ and would like to contribute you can answer in relation to your experiences as a child, or in relation to other people's experiences as a child (e.g. your own children). We will use this information to help change the law and get legal protection from age discrimination for children. All answers will remain confidential. Take part here.
