Equality and Diversity policy statement

As a housing provider and employer, we are fully committed to equality of opportunity, diversity and ending unfair discrimination.

We will offer equal opportunities in employment for everyone, regardless of sex or gender identity, marital or civil partnership status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief, age, caring responsibilities or any other criteria not related to the job.

We recognise, welcome and value diversity and are committed to creating a workplace where all employees are given the opportunity to reach their full potential, feel valued and work together effectively to achieve our goals. In this way we will establish a workforce, which reflects the diversity of the wider community.

As a provider of housing and other services to residents, we will ensure that no one is treated unfairly and we will work to identify, understand and meet the differing housing and related needs of everyone in the community we serve.

We are committed to promoting equality and good relations between men and women, different ethnic groups, disabled and non-disabled people and all other diverse groups.

We recognise our obligation to make reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of disabled applicants, employees, tenants, leaseholders and other customers.

Our commitment goes beyond what is required by law, we will offer equality of opportunity to everyone even if they do not belong to a group which is protected by anti discrimination legislation. 

Our Board and all our employees are responsible for putting this policy into practice and action will be taken against anyone responsible for breaching this policy whilst working on our behalf, living in or visiting our properties.
