Flags and symbols in our communities: Our approach
At West Kent Housing Association, we recognise that flags and symbols can be a meaningful way for people to express their identity, heritage, and pride. We also understand that, for some, the display of certain flags can raise concerns or feel intimidating.
Our strategic commitment
We want to reassure you that West Kent Housing Association is committed to creating communities that residents are proud to live in. As part of this ambition, our Strategic Plan sets out a clear commitment to work alongside residents and partners to tackle inequalities, increase opportunities, and promote wellbeing.
We want all residents to feel welcome and able to express themselves—while also ensuring that no one feels excluded or threatened.
If you have any concerns or questions, we encourage you to contact us directly.
Let’s work together
We know these issues can feel personal. Our aim is to handle them with integrity and understanding. If you are unsure about what is allowed or want to discuss displaying a flag or symbol, please contact your neighbourhood officer or our customer services team.
Together, we can ensure our communities remain respectful, inclusive, and safe for everyone.
