Recommendation 14

We call on social housing providers to take stigma and discrimination seriously, not to assume its staff are immune from such prejudices, and to ensure their boards better reflect their communities. We also encourage them to make every effort to encourage diversity among their senior management teams. As part of its review of the consumer standards, we also recommend that the Regulator of Social Housing introduce a requirement on providers to demonstrate that their boards and senior management teams reflect the diversity of the communities they serve.
