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.

- Develop strategies for minimising risk associated with age diversity, including legal compliance

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
