Equalities and Diversity

Tower Hamlets is one of the most culturally rich and diverse boroughs in Britain. We want to help create a place in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect and can take a full part in the social, cultural and economic wealth of the borough.

We want to do everything we can to make sure everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential, regardless of their age, background, beliefs, disability, gender, race or sexual orientation and we’ll take action to tackle discrimination when it happens.

We’re committed to an ongoing programme of service improvements to make sure our housing management services meet all of our residents varied and individual needs. This means providing high quality services that everyone can access, as well as making sure that our staff and our board members are confident in tackling discrimination and promoting equality and diversity.

We work closely with Tower Hamlets council, which has long experience in tackling discrimination and promoting strong, safe communities in the borough and we follow the same laws and have the same legal duties, designed to protect people from discrimination.
