As Vice Chair and Secretary of the Social Policy Association, we
wish to apologise for the message which appeared on this list earlier
this week, about next year's SPA conference. The message had been
placed there in error, having been intended as part of an internal
consultation among members of the SPA Executive Committee. Even so,
whether publicly or privately expressed, the tone of these comments
is unacceptable. We would like to dissociate the SPA from both their
manner and content and assure members that this is not the way in
which the Executive Committee normally conducts the Association's
business. We will be discussing in the Executive Committeewhether
any any further action is appropriate; in the meantime, we deeply
regret any offence or injury which may have been caused.
