Our approach to equality, diversity and inclusion is at the heart of our efforts to ensure that we create a working environment where everyone can be themselves, regardless of age, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or disability. This is also important so that we can ensure that the work that we do meets the needs of our diverse communities. Diversity is one of our corporate values and is championed at Board and Senior Leadership levels. We recognise that diversity brings different perspectives and innovation – something that we need if we are to disrupt the housing market. To support us in delivering our vision for diversity and inclusion, as well as providing a support mechanism for colleagues, we have various staff networks that colleagues are able to join including BAME, LGBT (and separate allies network), Gender, and Disability and Carers networks.
