We believe that everyone has the right to be treated equally, with respect and to feel safe and secure in their own home and neighbourhood.

Everyone has a right to make use of the opportunities offered by our organisation and to use all parts of our service.

We will promote equality and diversity in the provision of our services and employment and we will not tolerate discrimination.

We will make sure that no person or group applying for housing services or employment will be treated less favourably than any other person or group because of their individual characteristics. These characteristics include, but are not limited to, disability, ethnicity, colour, race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and age.

Equality and diversity aims

• Customers - To provide services and opportunities that are tailored to meet the needs of individual customers.
• Communities - To value diversity in our communities and encourage community cohesion.
• Staff - Be an inclusive employer and provide opportunity and development to all staff.
