Equality and Diversity

Prime Student Living are committed to promoting equality of opportunity and creating a living environment that is inclusive and free from discrimination, harassment, bully, or victimisation. We believe all our residents should be treated with respect and dignity. Promoting a diverse culture within our properties, as an employee, with our business partners and within our community.

 

We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion in everything we do. We are serious about equality and treat people fairly.

 

We will help ensure fair treatment for all our students, regardless of race, ethnic origin, or nationality; gender; disability, whether mental or physical; religion; marital or family status; sexuality or sexual orientation; age or physical appearance.

 

When allocating our resident applications, we ensure:

  • Student preferences when choosing a room are given highest priority
  • Our procedures comply with Equality Act 2010
  • To make adjustments meeting the needs of disabled students, where needs identified through an appropriate assessment process are reasonable, as defined in the Act and within a reasonable timeframe
  • We work with educational institutions to meet identified needs where practicably possible

 

We recognise that equality issues are complex and therefore this list is not exhaustive. We strive to review, educate ourselves and adapt progressively.
