The case for addressing social housing stigma is already well-made and appreciated in the housing sector. It is not acceptable to treat tenants the way you would not treat your loved ones or to segregate children’s playgrounds on estates from those who have social housing. It is also not acceptable to be unaware of the unconscious bias from assumptions made by otherwise excellent and caring staff who manage social homes.

This session will provide an overview of the practical help now being developed for landlords, through a pledge and detailed toolkit on how to address stigma locally.

Gain insights on the research conducted so far and how to implement the recommendations made by recent reports on social housing stigma.

Ultimately, join this session to better understand the complex experience of stigma and discrimination and how to effectively address and end it within the sector for good.
