Equality Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

At Great Places, we recognise the importance of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and are committed to embedding these core principles in everything we do.

  • Equality – being fair, considerate and ensuring equal access to opportunities.
  • Diversity – recognising everyone is has individual and different needs.
  • Inclusion – a sense of belonging and a feeling of being respected.

As well as ensuring we meet legal and regulatory requirements, these principles underpin all of our business activities, making sure we continue to be an employer and landlord of choice.

For us, equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are about recognising and valuing difference across our customer and employee bases. It is also about fairness in its broadest sense; stretching beyond areas already covered by legislation.

 

Our passion for equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) is reflected in how we operate:

  • As a service provider –We care about understanding your needs and getting our services right for you. We will work with you to ensure we have the correct information and data about you and your household; we will use this to tailor services to you, as well as talking and listening to your requirements.
  • As an employer – It is important to us that our workforce reflects the communities we serve. We value lived experience in social housing and deep knowledge of, and respect for, the communities we serve. We will ensure our recruitment and progression processes are fair and inclusive.
  • As a community anchor – We build partnerships with organisations that can support residents’ health, wellbeing, aspirations or sense of community.
