Gender Equality Scheme

Welcome to Knowsley Housing Trust’s (KHT’s) first Gender Equality Scheme.

The Equality Act 2006 placed a duty on all public authorities to produce a Gender Equality Scheme. Although Housing Assocations including KHT weren’t directly affected by the Act the Housing Corporation as a public body was. The Housing Corporation passed on this duty and required all Housing Associations to produce their own schemes by April 2008.

The aim of our scheme is to;

• Eliminate unlawful discrimination and harassment.
• Promote equality of opportunity between men and women.

The scheme includes a three year action plan which will be regularly monitored the reviewed.
