Equality & diversity

Last modified 06/07/10 at 10:37

We hold equality and diversity data on our tenants to ensure that the services we provide are accessible and relevant for all our residents.

The main way for us to gather the data is through residents completing a tenancy audit form so if you haven't completed the tenancy audit form (99 KB) we would be grateful if you could and return it to us at Regent House. If you need any help completing this form please telephone Jane Arditti on 01306 505554 or email Jane.Arditti@mvha.org.uk.
