Soha wants to treat people fairly and to achieve this we have a range of values to describe the way we work and our beliefs.
These are:
- To be customer-focused first
- To recognise and respect people's needs and aspirations
- To provide fair access and choice
- To be effective, imaginative and professional
Soha's Equality & Diversity Strategy and Policy was developed together with our residents. They set out how we will promote equality and diversity and tackle discrimination. We will not tolerate harassment or unequal treatment by, or of, our staff, our contractors, tenants, leaseholders or shared owners.

Equality Impact Assessments
An equality impact assessment (EIA) is a way for us to look at the potential impact of our policies, services and strategies on residents. It can help staff provide and deliver excellent services to residents by making sure that these reflect the needs of the community.
EIAs offer an opportunity for staff to think carefully about the impact of their work on residents. They can then take action that will promote equality for all.
EIAs currently available are:
