EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND ANTI-DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICE
Priority
aims to ensure that no young person who applies for our
services, or who receives our support, is discriminated
against because of their race, colour, nationality, ethnic
or cultural origins, disability, gender or sexual orientation.
What is discrimination?
-
Treating
someone more or less favourably because of their race,
colour, nationality, ethnic or cultural origins, disability,
gender or sexual orientation.
-
Discrimination
because of race, nationality, colour, ethnic origin,
gender, marital status and disability are against the
law.
Our commitments to you:
-
We will monitor applications for our
housing and support services to ensure that discrimination
does not occur.
-
We
will avoid discrimination when we provide services or
develop new services
-
We
will make sure that information about our services is
publicised as widely as possible and encourage awareness
of our services by all sections of the community. We
will always look for ways of making our services more
accessible
-
We
will make sure that make sure that you are treated in
an equal way when we deal with your complaints, comments
and compliments
-
We
will make sure that our staff are fully aware of our
Equal Opportunities

a reality.
-
Any
providers of services to Priority Youth Housing who
racially, sexually or physically harass our residents
may have their contracts terminated. They will
be removed from the Approved Contractors List.
