Promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across GMHP

In 2020, the Diversity, Inclusion, Community Cohesion & Equalities (DICE) group—published the findings of our first EDI benchmarking exercise. This baseline report provided an initial snapshot of workforce diversity across member organisations and highlighted the work already underway to address inequalities and improve representation. It also helped identify priority areas for collective and organisational action.

We have now published our third report in our series. As in 2020 and 2023, we asked members to submit their diversity data so we can build a clearer picture of our workforce and assess whether the actions taken over recent years are having an impact.

Alongside the data analysis, we included a series of case studies that highlight the wide range of initiatives underway across individual organisations, as well as examples of collective action across the partnership.

Together, these insights help illustrate how providers are putting inclusion into practice on the ground and sets a foundation for understanding the strengths, gaps and emerging trends shaping diversity and inclusion across Greater Manchester’s housing sector.

This report arrives at an important moment for our sector. The social and economic landscape in which we operate continues to shift, and the responsibility we hold—both to our communities and to our colleagues—has never been clearer. Good data, honest reflection and shared accountability are essential if we are to make meaningful progress.
