Guidance to Assist HAs Eliminate Discrimination

How housing associations work towards the elimination of discrimination whilst promoting the continuous improvement on equality and diversity is set out in a good practice note published by the Housing Corporation.

The Equality and Diversity Good Practice Note (GPN) outlines the what equalities and diversity policies should include to ensure the needs of different groups and individuals are met.

The note:

outlines the statutory obligations of the Corporation and the implications for housing associations;
refers to legislations from which the obligations arise;
sets out how housing associations will benefit from adopting an equality and diversity policy;
highlights some of the issues which need to be considered when developing a policy approach to equality and diversity.

The Good Practice Note consolidates and replaces the Corporation's previous GPN 4: Race Equality and Diversity (2002) and GPN 8: Equality and Diversity (2004).

Copies are available from the Corporation's website www.housingcorp.gov.uk.
