The aim of the podcast is to offer insights and experiences that highlight the work taking place around Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in housing in ‘real time’, from those with on-the-ground experience and expertise.

It exists to showcase the excellent work taking place, a chance to share insights, best practice and challenges, as well as reflect on the use of research and evidence in day-to-day practices, or whether research and evidence needs to be more accessible.

The latest episode includes a sobering conversation with Emily Edwards, housing development officer for the Scottish Refugee Council. Emily spoke about the current challenges in claiming asylum in the UK, further challenges in the supply and standard of housing for refugees and migrants, and the importance of community integration, amongst a host of other things.

It should be noted that this conversation with Emily was recorded in June 2023, before the Illegal Migration Bill was passed into law in July.
