The Scott Trust, which is chaired by Liz Forgan, consists of executives within Guardian Media Group, representatives of the wider media industry, members of the Scott family and a member of the Guardian’s editorial staff.

The formal responsibilities of the Trustees are:
  • to secure the Trust’s own continuity by renewing its membership and by dealing with threats to its existence
  • to monitor the organisation, financial management and overall strategy of the Group, holding the Board accountable for its performance
  • to appoint and ‘in extreme circumstances’ to dismiss the editors of the Guardian, the Manchester Evening News and the Observer
  • to act as a ‘court of appeal’ in the event of any dispute between the editorial and managerial sides of the operation
