We strongly believe that diversity and inclusion are critical to our organisation's success. We will continue to advocate for them and be committed to them for the long haul. 

Overview

In recognition of its importance to the success of our organisation, inclusion is one of our five values.

It’s an important part of our social contract with residents and stakeholders that the people in our organisation reflect the wider community.

Bringing together a diverse range of people also helps us perform to our best, whether providing great services, investing in the quality of our homes or realising our ambitions to build more to help solve the housing crisis.

Building services and homes that meet the needs of our diverse resident community is at the heart of this work. The online resident community and the LGBT+ resident forum are crucial partners in helping us get this right.

We are proud of our inclusive culture and want to be a place where everyone can be themselves at work.

Our people can be confident that difference is accepted and celebrated at L&Q.

We are proactively anti-hate, and all our people are recruited, trained and held to account on the basis that discrimination in any form is unacceptable.

We support our people's efforts to be good allies and to represent and amplify the voices of minority groups in the organisation and the wider community.
