Equal Opportunities Statement

The L&Q Group is committed to promoting equality and diversity in all our services and to give equality of opportunity to our diverse customer and employee group. We aim to end discrimination and promote equal opportunities for everyone and positively value diversity within the organisation. We expect everyone who works for us to support us in this.

We will:

• Provide and promote equal opportunities, whatever a person's race, colour, ethnic or national origin, religion, beliefs, sex, age, sexuality, HIV status, physical or mental disability, state of health, appearance, marital status, family circumstances or offending behaviour.

• Give all staff equal opportunities training.

• Encourage groups and individuals that are disadvantaged in housing and employment, to apply for jobs, homes and work contracts.

• Keep a record of the ethnic origin, sex, disability and age of everyone who applies to us for a home or job.

• Apply our commitment to equal opportunities when we decide who serves on our committees.

• Make sure everyone we work with or who works for us knows about our policy and keeps to it. If any of these people have their own policy, we will make sure it fits in with ours.
  
• Take into account good practice in equal opportunities when we update our housing and employment policies and procedures.
