Code of Practice

In order to achieve our commitment to equality The Rainbow Project has formally adopted the CRE "Code of practice in Rented Housing" where it specifically applies to voluntary projects.

Service Delivery

No young person who has contact with the Project and its work whether applying for housing or wishing to use the services of the Project will be treated less favourably than any other person or group of persons because of their race, ethnic or national origin, colour, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, marital status, HIV status, disability - The Project regrets the current office and houses are inaccessible to wheelchair users - or appearance unless a scheme/project has been set up for one gender only.

All selection and allocation procedures and decisions will be based on the need of applicants for the housing and support services offered by the Rainbow Project, the Project's ability to meet the applicant's needs and the needs of the other residents and applicants.

Employment and Recruitment

No job applicant or employee will be treated less favourably than any other person or group of persons because of their race, ethnic or national origin, colour, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, marital status, HIV status, disability - The Project regrets the current office and houses are inaccessible to wheelchair users - or appearance.

Declaration

The Rainbow Project will ensure that service users, staff and Management Committee members are aware of the CRE Code of Practice and it's policies.

Monitoring and Reviewing

The Rainbow Project will monitor and review its Code of Practice through an Equal Opportunities Working Group at least once a year.
