Equality & Diversity

As part of our ongoing development, Aveley Lodge is committed to implementing the recommendations from the Care Quality Commission in 2019 on supporting our residents and staff with their sexuality and the Health & Care Act 2022 to support those with Autism and Learning Disabilities such as Aspergers Syndrome.

Supporting those with Autism and other Learning Disabilities features significantly in the long-term goals of Aveley Lodge Care Home which aims to improve peoples’ health and care experiences by making sure they receive timely and appropriate health checks, and also improve the level of awareness and understanding across the Company and its staff of how best to support such people.

We at Aveley Lodge reflect the values and principles of respecting diversity, equality, human rights and non-discrimination in line with current legislation such as the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Equality Act 2010. No person is excluded on the grounds of any gender or transgender, disability, or sexual orientation. The staff here at Aveley Lodge put our resident’s health and wellbeing at the forefront of their care duties and this includes whether they have a learning disability, Autism, their relationships and their sexuality. We in turn support our staff and residents and their wellbeing is one of our primary concerns and we will not discriminate on anyone’s employment or care with us on the grounds of gender, transgender or learning disability. We have certain policies in place to support residents and staff alike in these important areas.  We are all here to ensure that our residents live in their home not only safely and happily but that our staff work in a happy environment too.  Your welfare is one of the most important aspects of our role.
