The tenancy policy will be reviewed every three to five years. Where there are proposed changes to the policy, we will seek approval from portfolio holder and cabinet as necessary.
As a public body, we are required to have due regard to the public sector equality duty under Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010. This includes the need to:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Equality Act 2010
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not; and
- Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
When developing new policies or making material changes to existing policies, we will carry out Equality Impact Assessments (EqIAs) to make sure we meet our public sector equality duty.
