Diversity & Equality

At Southdown, we pride ourselves on creating a culture that challenges prejudice and values diversity. We are committed to ensuring that all staff and tenants feel welcome and are not discriminated against or treated unfairly.

We recognise that certain groups and individuals in society are disadvantaged because of discrimination experienced as a result of colour, race, nationality, belief or religion, physical or mental disability, health status, marital status, sex, sexuality, trade union activity, caring responsibilities, criminal convictions unrelated to the job, age or class.

Southdown believes that such direct or indirect discrimination is wrong and will ensure that the policies and practices of the Association provide equal treatment for everyone. Adherence to our Diversity and Equality Policy is a condition of service for staff, and a copy of the policy is given to all staff and job applicants.
