Newydd Housing Association

✊ Today is #DeedsNotWords Day of Action – an initiative by Tai Pawb to make a difference through actions and not just words. Here are some actions we have taken at Newydd to tackle racial inequality in housing: ✅ Implemented the Rooney Rule – To attract and employ a greater diversity of applicants. ✅ We successfully recruited a Board member from an ethnic minority group using Dynamic Boards. ✅ We were successful in diversifying tenant involvement and recruited tenants for our new Cadarn Scrutiny Team from ethnic minority groups. ✅ We delivered EDI, Unconscious Bias, and Anti-Racism training to the new tenant Cadarn Scrutiny Team in January - we have a rolling programme for this training for staff. ✅ We proactively capture tenant equality profiles to tailor service to meet their diverse needs. We also undertake Equality Impact Assessments on our strategies and policies to ensure they are fair and transparent. ✅ We have increased our visibility on our estates by coordinating regular community pop ups – this helps build trust and improve communication with our tenants. ✅ We have also supported cultural events in our communities including the Hindu Cohesion Mandal, a chariot festival. #EveryActionCounts #EqualityMatters #QED

✊ Heddiw yw Diwrnod Gweithredu #GweithreduNidGeiriau – sef menter gan Tai Pawb i wneud gwahaniaeth trwy weithredoedd ac nid geiriau yn unig. Dyma rhai o’r camau rydym wedi’u cymryd yn Newydd i fynd i’r afael ag anghydraddoldeb hiliol yn y sector tai: ✅ Wedi gweithredu Rheol Rooney – i ddenu a chyflogi mwy o amrywiaeth ymhlith ymgeiswyr. ✅ Llwyddwyd i recriwtio aelod Bwrdd o grŵp lleiafrifoedd ethnig gan ddefnyddio Byrddau Dynamig. ✅ Buom yn llwyddiannus wrth arallgyfeirio cyfranogiad tenantiaid a recriwtio tenantiaid o grwpiau lleiafrifoedd ethnig ar gyfer Tîm Craffu newydd Cadarn. ✅ Fe gyflwynom hyfforddiant EDI, Tuedd Anymwybodol, a Gwrth-Hiliaeth i denantiaid newydd Tîm Craffu Cadarn ym mis Ionawr – mae gennym raglen dreigl ar gyfer yr hyfforddiant hwn i staff. ✅ Rydym yn mynd ati’n rhagweithiol i gasglu proffiliau cydraddoldeb tenantiaid i deilwra gwasanaethau i ddiwallu eu hanghenion amrywiol. Rydym hefyd yn cynnal Asesiadau Effaith Cydraddoldeb ar ein strategaethau a’n polisïau i sicrhau eu bod yn deg ac yn dryloyw. ✅ Rydym wedi cynyddu ein hamlygrwydd ar ein hystadau trwy gydlynu digwyddiadau naid cymunedol rheolaidd – mae hyn yn helpu i feithrin ymddiriedaeth a gwella cyfathrebu â’n tenantiaid. ✅ Rydym hefyd wedi cefnogi digwyddiadau diwylliannol yn ein cymunedau gan gynnwys Mandal Cydlyniant Hindŵaidd, sef gŵyl cerbydau. #EveryActionCounts #EqualityMatters #QED
