Equality and Diversity

Leeds Tenants Federation is dedicated to involving tenants and residents from hard-to-reach communities and we are succeeding in this aim.

In December 2003, we launched a project to enable Black and Minority Ethnic communities to become more involved in decisions about their homes.

We have produced a Welcome Poster translated into the widest range of community languages. This poster is now displayed at most public service and voluntary sector buildings in the city.

We are running a programme of visits and talks to BME community groups to raise awareness of the opportunities for tenant involvement. Sixteen BME community groups have been visited up to February.

In December 2003 Leeds Tenants Federation signed up to support the Leeds Unity Against Racism campaign. In Summer 2004 the Federation became a Hate Incident Reporting Centre - showing its commitment to fighting racial and other personal harassment. The Federation also attends meetings of the Asylum Seekers and Refugees Multi-Agency group.
