The Housing Executive must promote equality of opportunity and good relations in carrying out its functions. We are required to do this under Section 75 and Schedule 9 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998.
Our Equality Unit has developed an Equality Scheme to help us to achieve this. The Scheme sets out how we carry out our work. It also takes account of our equality and good relations duties.
The Equality Unit:
promotes equality awareness through equality training, disability awareness training, reviewing equality policy, best practice and equality screening
encourages equality throughout the organisation through the publication of regular equality information
develops equality monitoring systems for the organisation
reports regularly to show progress in the implementation of our Equality Scheme
implements a race relations policy
safeguards children and adults in need of protection
provides communication support
