Shetland Arts would like to express their disappointment and distress at the insensitive manner in which the recent redundancies have been reported in the Shetland Times. The organisation would like to extend its support to our colleagues Clair Aldington, Donald Anderson and John Haswell, and express its sympathy for the unnecessary additional distress which the article has caused during this difficult time.  Shetland Arts would like to stress that it does not comment on individual employee’s status in the press and does not condone this manner of reporting.

The board of Shetland Arts would also like to stress that contrary to the manner reported, the current restructuring and change management process is in no way a reflection of the effectiveness of the individuals named, and would like to take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge their valuable contribution to the work of the organisation to date.
