Welcome to our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion webinar series for UK-registered social housing providers. EDI has always been important to the sector, however the new consumer regulations have put it high on the regulator’s agenda too. The concepts covered have become critical for service providers and employers alike, and getting these principles right can help your organisation maximise service-user, stakeholder, and employee satisfaction. If you get them wrong, you may be in breach of your legal duties and responsibilities, resulting in discrimination complaints.
The session is intended to help Board members understand the regulatory framework and requirements, with a focus on key legislation such as the Equality Act 2010 (EA 2010) and the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED), as well as other applicable regulations.
