Our Aim
The key to Chevin's success is awareness that every one of our tenants and staff is an individual. We appreciate that the success of Chevin depends on a diverse range of people, each with their own personality, outlook on life and their own interests and needs.We are committed to continuously improving the services that we provide to our customers and the working environment of our staff. Our commitment to this area of work is reflected in our corporate aims, objectives and values of the organisation. Specifically Key Aim 4 states that we will Operate in a fair, open and accountable manner.
We want to make sure that our services are accessible to all of our customers and to make sure that we do not discriminate or act unfairly. We want people and organisations we work with to see us as promoting diversity and equality and be a leading example of good practice.
Chevin has produced a single Equality and Diversity ‘Framework' which reflects the priorities and concerns of the communities that we serve. We focus on six diversity ‘strands':
Disability
Gender
Age
Religion or Belief
Sexual orientation
A copy of the Equality Framework and our other Policies relating to equality and diversity can be found by clicking here. With the help of residents and staff, we are currently in the process of bringing all of our equality procedures and plans into one Single Equality Scheme and action plan.

As an organisation Chevin Housing Group recognises that there is no place for discrimination or harassment within our business. We are eager to promote an understanding of the importance of equality and diversity amongst our staff and encourage good practice from our partner organisations. Chevin is working to foster a culture of respect based on understanding the equal value and worth of individual staff members in order that they can fulfil their potential. We have also made a commitment to ensure that our services are equally accessible to all of our customers, and that all of our customers have an opportunity to put their views forward.
