Our services are inclusive and respectful of all identities. Read how we uphold the Equality Act 2010.

At Green Leaf Homes, we are committed to promoting equality, celebrating diversity, and ensuring inclusion for all young people, staff, and visitors. Our service reflects the values set out in the Equality Act 2010, ensuring that no one is treated less favourably because of who they are.

Our Commitment

We provide a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone is:

  • Treated with dignity and respect

  • Valued for their unique identity

  • Encouraged to express themselves safely and confidently

We actively oppose all forms of discrimination, harassment, and victimisation. This includes discrimination based on:

  • Age

  • Disability

  • Gender identity or reassignment

  • Race, ethnicity or nationality

  • Religion or belief

  • Sex

  • Sexual orientation

  • Pregnancy or maternity

  • Marriage or civil partnership

How We Promote Equality and Diversity

We embed inclusive practice into everything we do:

  • Inclusive Support: Our services respect and reflect the cultural, religious, and personal backgrounds of each young person.

  • Diverse Workforce: We promote fair recruitment and progression opportunities for all staff.

  • Continuous Learning: Staff receive regular training on equality, diversity, and anti-discriminatory practice.

  • Listening and Adapting: We welcome feedback from young people and staff to improve inclusivity.

For Young People in Our Care

We encourage young people to:

  • Be proud of who they are

  • Respect and learn from each other’s differences

  • Speak up if they feel unfairly treated — knowing they will be heard and supported

Our environment is designed to celebrate identity and promote mutual respect.

Accountability and Improvement

We monitor our practices to ensure they are fair, inclusive, and in line with legislation. Any form of discrimination or bias is addressed swiftly and sensitively.

This policy is reviewed annually and updated in line with changes in law and best practice.

At Green Leaf Homes, everyone belongs.
Together, we build a community where differences are embraced and equality is a shared responsibility.
