Board Members from Housing Associations across North Wales brushed up their knowledge of diversity and equality issues at a special training and information event organised by NWREP in St Asaph.

The event was at the Pennaf Housing Group headquarters on the Business Park in St Asaph on the 1st April 2011.

The Board Champions’ event gave Board members working across North Wales the opportunity to come together and hear from professionals working in the field, benchmarking best practice over diversity and equality issues, including guest speaker Emma Reeves, Equality & Diversity Officer from Tai Pawb, a specialist organisation dedicated to promoting equality and social justice in housing throughout Wales.

“As Registered Social Landlords we need to embed equality and diversity at the heart of what we do, across all services, from strategic decision making to the delivery of every day frontline services,” said Mr Neil Moffatt, Chair of NWREP and Director of Housing Services for Clwyd Alyn Housing Association, which is a member of the Pennaf Housing
