We will ensure that all our customers are dealt with fairly and equitably. Equality and diversity is integral to all of the Trust’s activities, which means that our services need to be flexible and adaptable to our customer’s and employee’s needs, so that no-one is unfairly disadvantaged.
We look to develop a culture where people from all sections of society are valued and respected. We will oppose any form of discrimination in service delivery and actively promote opportunities for participation and involvement.
We recognise that equality and diversity issues are just as relevant to the staff we employ and therefore aim to be an equal opportunity employer, as well as seeking to ensure that the principles of equality and diversity are applied to all our activities, in particular: -
- Company membership
- Appointments to the Board
- Meeting housing need
- Access to housing
- Providing housing and related services
- Developing new homes
- Appointing contractors, consultants and suppliers
- Recruiting, employing and training staff
We seek to achieve equality of treatment for all our customers without discrimination or prejudice on the grounds of a person’s race, colour, ethnic origin, nationality, cultural background, religion, gender, sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status, age or disability. We will work to eliminate any form of discrimination and to promote good relations between people of different groups.
The Cheshire Peaks & Plains Equality and Diversity Policy aims to:
- Identify and eliminate unlawful discrimination;
- Promote equality of opportunity in all of the Trust’s activities;
- Provide practical and responsive services to victims of discrimination;
- Manage diversity in people through recognising the differences between them;
- Recognise that everyone is entitled to be treated fairly, with integrity and respect;
- To achieve the highest standards of performance;
- Ensure that records are kept to monitor the impact of the policy.
We are committed to developing an organisational culture which values people from all sections of the community and the contribution each individual can make to the Trust’s work.
