Response to consultation – Age Goods Facilities and Services Bill

We are mindful that the TEO Committee of the NI Assembly undertook an Inquiry into Equality Legislation to find out where equality legislation is different in NI to other jurisdictions and to understand the impacts this has. It is our understanding that the Committee are due to publish their report soon, which may include recommendations for legislative reform.

NICCY welcomes the development of the proposals and the opportunity to provide a response and thanks the Member for her early engagement with us. We encourage the Member to engage with children and young people directly and ensure that their voices and experiences are heard and reflected in any legislation that must cover all ages. NICCY are happy to discuss any of these matters should it be useful for the Member in the development of the Bill further to consultation.
