We strive to build a culture that celebrates diversity and inclusivity, creating a dynamic place to live, work, and learn, where each individual is valued for their unique contributions and individuality.

We are committed to engaging inclusively with all the communities in which we operate and to building a workforce and resident community that reflects the richness and diversity of the UK.

Our goal is to promote equality and prevent discrimination in all that we do – as:
• a student accommodation provider,
• an employer, and
• a community and business partner.

We are guided by best practice in equality, diversity, and inclusion, and we actively work to:
• eliminate unlawful discrimination;
• promote equality of opportunity;
• prevent bullying and harassment;
• foster positive relationships between different groups;
• celebrate shared values and embrace diversity; and
• recognise and respect individual differences.

We uphold the principles of equality across all characteristics protected by law, including:
• age
• disability
• gender reassignment
• marriage and civil partnership
• pregnancy and maternity
• race
• religion or belief
• sex
• sexual orientation

However, we recognise that equality and inclusion go beyond these protected characteristics. Life experiences, personal circumstances, and social factors also shape who we are. We therefore also consider aspects such as:
• cultural and economic background
• physical and social environment
• health

This list is not exhaustive – our commitment to inclusion extends to all who are part of our community.
