Equality Scheme

The Association strives to ensure equal opportunites for all throughout the organisation. Connswater Homes published an Equality Scheme in 2005 in line with its obligations under Section 75 of the Housing NI Order 1998. This Scheme details how the Association over the next 5 years will work towards ensuring its business is inclusive and operates in a fair and equitable manner.

Disability Action Plan

Connswater Homes Disability Action Plan is an important document. It is a statement of the Association’s commitment to and its proposals for fulfilling its statutory obligations in compliance with Section 49A of the Disability Discrimination (NI) Act 2006.

This Act places new duties on public authorities when carrying out their functions to have regard to the need:

to provide positive attitudes towards disabled people; and
to encourage participation by disabled people in public life

This plan is also important as it outlines how disability issues can be more effectively mainstreamed by the Association ensuring that they become integral to the whole range of policy areas and decision making structures within the Association.
