University and college staff have been told to stop calling older people 'OAPs' and 'pensioners' for fear of being 'ageist'.
Officials at institutions including the University of Manchester have ordered staff to call over-60s 'mature individuals', 'older people' or simply 'learners.'
The demand comes as part of the latest raft of 'inclusive language' rolled out to education establishments that also warns people not to use terms like 'diabetic' or 'blind.'
