EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is essential to what we do at Southern Housing and our EDI policy provides the detail on what this means. 

We value difference and the perspectives and contributions of our colleagues, residents and partners. This feeds into everything we do and who we are. 

We want it to become part of our DNA and a key part of our commitment is achievement, impact and change.

We have set ourselves aims and targets as outlined in our EDI action plan to ensure that we make progress on our journey.

EQUALITY

This is about ensuring ‘equality of opportunity’, it doesn’t mean we treat everyone the same but that we recognise difference and treat everyone fairly, including making adjustments to meet different needs to achieve the same outcome.

DIVERSITY

This is about who and what we are – the complex mix of our people and communities. We know that diversity of thought and perspective makes us stronger, creates innovation, shapes evidence led decisions and above all creates welcoming environments both at work and in our resident’s homes and communities.

INCLUSION

This is about ensuring that everyone feels valued and respected. It is a culture in which people feel welcome, comfortable and confident to be themselves and importantly that they feel safe and appreciated.
