Details of the allegations have not been disclosed but the Association said it takes all allegations of inappropriate conduct “exceptionally seriously”.

A spokesperson told Scottish Housing News: “Where there is an ongoing investigation, MHA is unable to make any comment which may breach confidentiality, jeopardise that investigation or undermine the confidence in its investigatory and disciplinary procedures.

“While we are unable to comment on individual cases, MHA takes all allegations of inappropriate conduct exceptionally seriously. All such allegations are fully and transparently investigated and, where appropriate, addressed though its disciplinary procedures.”
