This article will look at the Regulations introduced in the UK for the implementation of the EU non-discrimination Directives adopted in 2000.1 It provides an overview of the new legislation introduced in the UK to protect again discrimination on grounds of religion and belief, and sexual orientation as well as the proposals on age discrimination.2 These are all new grounds of discrimination, which were not previously covered in British discrimination law. This article also looks briefly at the amendments introduced to the Race Relations Act and Disability Discrimination Act to comply with the requirements of the directives. The government has taken a piecemeal approach to amending the law, and in the process has made discrimination law in the UK hugely complicated and somewhat chaotic. The end result has not furthered the overall aim of equality as far as it might.

This edited collection takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the 'Active Ageing' agenda to enable readers to consider the implications of this phenomenon for the law, the workplace, and for working lives from a holistic perspective. Challenges of Active Ageing brings together academics working throughout Europe from different disciplines including law, industrial relations, human resource management and occupational psychology to explore and debate the challenges of the 'Active Ageing' agenda for equality law and management practice. Also including shorter contributions from law, human resource management, trade union and other practitioners, this book aims to fully reflect how organizations can adjust their practices to respond to the challenge of an aging population and extended working lives.

The need to reimagine religion and belief is precipitated by their greater visibility in public life. Meanwhile, social policy responses often see them from a problem-based, rather than an asset-based, approach. However, with growing diversity of religion and belief in every sector comes the potential for new dialogues across previously impermeable policy and disciplinary silos. This volume brings together leading international authors to critically consider these challenges within legal and policy frameworks, including security and cohesion, welfare, law, health and social care, inequality, cohesion, extremism, migration and abuse. It challenges policy makers to re-imagine religion and belief as an integral part of public life that contains resources, practices, forms of knowledge and experience that are essential to a coherent policy approach to diversity, enhanced democracy and participation
