It is widely publicised that ethnically diverse communities are often marginalised and disproportionately impacted by housing issues. It is therefore essential for housing providers to break down barriers and build the confidence and trust of these communities through more appropriate engagement.

 

What can we learn from landlords who have created an anti-racist task force to listen to and learn from ethnically diverse residents as a way of improving services and policies? How can we ensure that ethnically diverse residents are represented on boards, committees and panels, and have the means to hold leaders to account?

 

Real change requires careful, and potentially painful, self-reflection but is essential to tackling racial disparities within social housing. Join this session to learn how to embed an inclusive culture into your engagement strategies.
