At Penwith Housing Association (PHA) we are particularly committed to ensuring equality and diversity in all our relationships, whether in our services, our governance or as an employer.
Discrimination occurs for a wide range of people and groups in our society. It can be because of ethnic origin, skin colour, nationality, religion or belief, culture, gender, sexuality, disability or health status, age, marital status or social background.
We strongly believe that any such discrimination is wrong, and we are committed to ensuring that our policies and practices combat discrimination at all levels.
Click here to see our equality and diversity policy, which is also attached below. It aims to:
- provide a clear statement to all stakeholders, showing our commitment to promoting equality and diversity
- identify core areas of potential discrimination, so we can develop strategies to combat this
- provide a framework for the development, implementation and review of strategies for particular minority groups.
The individual organisations in Devon & Cornwall Housing are all working together to improve our approach to diversity. This includes our high-level equality and diversity group, where senior managers from DCHA, PHA and Tor Homes review our policies, and monitor outcomes.
