Last year in our autumn edition of atHome we shared news of our Race Equality Action Plan and how we aim to improve equality of opportunity and fairness related to race for our staff and customers. Since then, we have been working
behind the scenes with staff and consulting with residents in developing our new Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy.
We are very excited to launch our strategy, which sets out our commitment to being a more inclusive organisation by advancing equality of opportunity, tackling prejudice, and promoting understanding and accessibility. We value the diversity of the communities we serve, and we take steps to make sure that in everything we do, no one is unfairly disadvantaged or discriminated against because of their age, disability, gender, gender identity, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.
Our new EDI Strategy has three areas of focus:
- creating a diverse workforce with fairness and equality embedded in how we support and develop our people.
- ensuring customers have fair access to the services they need.
- ensuring our governance structures and support services work towards the elimination of discrimination and the promotion of fairness.
