Description

Housing Options Scotland and the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence launched a podcast in late 2022 which examines the role of equality, diversity and inclusion in housing and homelessness. This live episode recording will host a panel discussion with representatives from both housing and other organisations, and look at how equality, diversity and inclusion can be embedded in service design, delivery and evaluation, and the role that academia can play. We will examine the additional barriers faced by those with protected characteristics in accessing services.
