Equality and diversity

The Regulator of Social Housing's equality, diversity and inclusion information.

As a public sector body, RSH complies with certain duties under the Equality Act 2010. This includes the publication of relevant, proportionate equality information to demonstrate compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty and to promote transparency and accountability in equality performance.

We are also committed to publishing both gender and ethnicity pay gap data alongside our equalities information reports.

The Act also requires all public bodies to publish equality objectives it thinks it should achieve to meet the general equality duty. The general equality duty says that public bodies must, in the exercise of their functions, have due regard to the need to:

  • eliminate discrimination, harassment, and victimisation

  • advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it

  • foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.

Further to our 4-year review period, we keep the objectives under review if our role changes or if we identify further areas which would benefit from setting equality objectives. We report progress against our objectives annually in our Equality Information Report.
