Hello Sarah and colleagues
If anyone else is responding to Sarah on the question of minimum age on entry for students it would be great if they could copy me or Robyn Challis my colleague into their response.
thanks a lot

Hi everyone
Unfortunately I received only 4 responses to my question about lower age
criteria for student admissions. Though not possible obviously to draw
a meaningful conclusion for the sector, the norm expressed was 18; this
being either written or just applied wherever possible with students
encouraged or required to defer entry if younger.
I would still be delighted to hear from other institutions and will keep
'contacts' informed of my findings of what would be involved if required
by the regs to admit younger students.
Thanx
Sarah

Dear colleagues,
On a day when age is very much in the news, we thought we'd send you a
brief email to help keep you up to date with what's happening on the age
equality front here at the ECU and elsewhere.
Our publication on age stereotyping is nearing completion! We expect it
to be available electronically before Christmas, and to be in print by
early January. Members of the joint ECU/ UCEA working group on age are
contributing to this publication.
We have now updated the age pages of our website to include the latest
information on the work of the joint working group. Click on
http://www.ecu.ac.uk/guidance/age/ to read more.
We find the DWP's free email bulletins well worth reading. These flag
up news items and supply relevant links to the DWP's Age Positive
website. You can subscribe to the bulletins by entering your email
address on the homepage of the Age Positive website at
http://www.agepositive.gov.uk/
Finally, the Employers Forum on Age have just launched some impressive
new marketing materials, which members of the EFA can buy to use within
their own organisations. The materials include logos, straplines and
catchphrases that can be adapted to posters, flyers, electronic
communications, etc. The materials are currently available to view at
the following link: http://www.efa.org.uk/age/age_aware.asp
Best wishes,
Liz and Robyn
