Ensuring that Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) considerations are taken into account in both thinking and action, is crucial both to working with colleagues and providing a service to tenants, residents and customers.

We’ll cover both some frameworks for thinking about EDI, and some practical examples of situations. It will improve your self-awareness and will give you practical ideas and tools for moving forward.
