Policy
We recognise our legal and moral obligations to acknowledge and reflect the wide diversity of society. At APH we value the benefits and opportunities this brings to our organisation.
We recognise that some groups experience discrimination and victimisation due to their ethnicity, social background, sexuality, age, religion or disability.
This policy sets out how we aim to tackle discrimination, harassment and social exclusion, and how we intend to promote equality of opportunity and good relations between people.
Ashton Pioneer Homes will, wherever possible, work in partnership with the community and organisations to promote equal opportunities, tackle discrimination and harassment, and to promote good relations between people. This strategy therefore covers the following areas:
- Service delivery
- Employment
- Board membership
- Work with consultants & contractors
- Influencing others
As well as complying with the law, the company will follow the guidance and good practice recommended by the Housing Corporation, the National Housing Federation and the Commissions for Racial Equality and Equal Opportunities.
