Equality and diversity

Sutherland, as part of the Genesis Housing Group, want to encourage diversity and to eliminate discrimination. This applies to the way we work with our colleagues and also to the services we provide in communities.


We aim to ensure that our workforce is truly representative of all sections of society and that each employee feels respected and able to give their best. And we will work together to ensure that our residents, and other customers, are provided with a responsive and culturally sensitive service, which addresses issues of discrimination and harassment in our housing.


We aim to recognise the needs of individuals and treat each person, in employment and through service provision, with dignity and respect.


We recognise that some forms of disadvantage and discrimination are widely experienced by particular groups (because of race, ethnic origin, colour, national origin, disability, sexuality, religion, gender, marital status or age). We oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination and will seek to achieve equality by eliminating discrimination and promoting social cohesion. Genesis Community (click to link), the Group's social regeneration subsidiary, develops and implements projects that actively contribute to the social cohesion of communities.
