Making clear our commitment to Equality & Diversity

We are really pleased to be able to launch the Guinness Partnership’s Equality and Diversity Strategy and Policy, which have been approved by our Board following consultation with customers and staff. Each housing association within the Partnership had previously had its own policy in this area and now a single approach are demonstrates our commitment to this with a clear Partnership position and by setting ourselves some objectives.

The Strategy sets out three objectives for the Partnership:

Be governed and led by people who champion the equality and diversity agenda, and be an organisation where we want the workforce at all levels to be representative of minority groups.

Respect and listen to the customers we serve and others we work with.

Work hard to treat everyone with dignity and deal with all fairly, regardless of faith, race, ethnicity, age, gender, marital status, sexuality or disability.

In order that these objectives become achievable, we also map out how they will be achieved and how we will measure our success. And underpinning the Strategy is a series of Action Plans, one for each Partnership company, that detail how this work will look ‘on the ground’. In this way, we will be able to plan and deliver some more local work that achieves our overall vision of ‘Great service, great homes and a great place to work’.
