Board members will also be investigating the situation further to ensure clear approvals and processes are in place moving forward.

[Literature Alliance Scotland @LitScotland]

The Board members of Literature Alliance Scotland (LAS) would like to offer a sincere apology for the recent uploading of a resource to the LAS website and the offence this has caused.

[Literature Alliance Scotland @LitScotland]

The Board members recognise this is a significant failure and after holding a Board meeting today it has been agreed that the Chair of the Board, Sarah Mason, will step down with immediate effect.

[Literature Alliance Scotland @LitScotland]

We will be investigating the process in which our online materials are uploaded and will revise our procedures. We apologise for any confusion or offence this has caused.

[Literature Alliance Scotland @LitScotland]

We have become aware a resource on our website has been flagged by a number of our followers. It was a document submitted to LAS for review but was deemed unsuitable in its current form and was never Board approved. It was uploaded in error & should have been removed more swiftly
