Throughout the Jury process, expert witnesses and speakers were chosen to provide relevant information to the Jury members to enable them to answer the Jury questions.

Each witness spoke for 5-10 minutes on a topic that was relevant to the Jury questions. Some speakers were asked to speak as ‘informants’ and some were asked to speak as ‘advocates’:

  • Informants: Asked to explain a range of views, options and opinions that exist a topic.
  • Advocates: Asked to present a personal opinion or, where relevant, the opinion of the organisation they were there to represent.

A full list of speakers for each session is available on the Jury sessions page.
