The words the Nats don't want to hear...

There is absolutely no question of any site being deliberately blocked. Our IT service have sorted out the small glitch which appears to have caused this.

The first line of the council’s content filtering system is based on website categories. The Yes Scotland website was categorised under ‘society and culture’, which is blocked by default for pupils in schools.

No-one at the council or school was involved in deciding the category of the website, which meant that it was not accessible.

As soon as we were alerted to this situation yesterday (Thursday) morning the site was unblocked by applying more detailed filtering rules, to ensure it could be accessed.
