Authorship and Transparency

Accused.scot is an independent, non-commercial project. It is not affiliated with any political party, legal practice, or media organisation.

The site is maintained and written by a small number of contributors working on a voluntary basis.

Editorial byline

Most material is published under the shared byline “Written by the Accused.scot Editorial”.

This reflects a collective editorial voice rather than the work of a single named individual. Content is reviewed before publication and presented as part of a consistent approach to the subject matter.

Contributor anonymity

Individual contributors are not publicly identified.

This is a considered decision. The subject matter addressed by the site can attract strong reaction, and anonymity allows contributors to focus on the material itself rather than personal exposure.

It also helps maintain editorial independence and avoids the work being interpreted through the identity of any one individual.

Independence

The site operates independently and does not receive funding from organisations with a direct interest in the outcome of individual cases discussed.

References to external organisations or sources are included for context and information. Their inclusion does not imply endorsement of every position they may hold.

Responsibility for content

Unless stated otherwise, published material reflects the editorial position of Accused.scot as a whole.

Where personal accounts or reflections are included, they are presented in that context and should be read accordingly.
