Equality and Diversity
Our Commitment to Equality and Diversity
Gedling Homes is committed to eliminating discrimination and valuing diversity in the communities in which we work and within our own workforce. We aim to ensure that residents, leaseholders, partners, stakeholders and other customers receive effective, responsive services appropriate to their needs.
Discrimination and Harassment
We treat all complaints of discrimination and harassment very seriously. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you experience or witness any incident.
Access to Our Services
In providing our services, Gedling Homes will ensure that we treat people according to their needs. We will not treat anyone less favourably because of their age, disability, gender or gender identity, race, religion or faith, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status. We will ask customers for information to help us monitor our progress in this area.
Service Delivery and Consultation
We will monitor and review our services in line with our Equality and Diversity Policy to ensure that we meet the diverse needs of our community.
We will listen to people’s views and encourage participation within the community. We are committed to working in partnership with diverse groups of the community to provide and encourage an environment free from harassment and discrimination, whilst respecting and valuing different cultures and lifestyles.
Employment
Gedling Homes advertises job vacancies appropriately and encourages applications from all persons within the community. We will regularly review and monitor our recruitment process to ensure that all applicants for employment are treated fairly and in accordance with our aims and principles to encourage diversity.
All our employees will receive training to ensure that their conduct within our organisation shows understanding and respect for equality and diversity issues. Staff are expected and encouraged to develop awareness of diversity and we will ensure that suitable guidance is provided.
Partners
All of our working partners and contractors must have an equality and diversity policy which is acceptable to Gedling Homes.
We work with our partners and contractors to ensure equality of opportunity for all our customers.
Tenant Involvement
Gedling Homes is committed to resident consultation and participation. We will consult and encourage participation from all our tenants and residents regardless of age, disability, gender or gender identity, race, religion or faith, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status. We are very keen to hear from “seldom heard” groups from our community.
