Engagement Panel feedback

We asked for your honest feedback on the Engagement Panel: how the session was run, the usefulness of the materials provided beforehand, how well different perspectives were represented, and what practical outcomes or follow-up actions you’d like to see.

You told us that the session format was generally effective and that the pre-reading materials helped set the scene. However, some of you felt there was uneven representation of viewpoints and that the pace was sometimes too quick. You asked for clearer follow-up actions, more opportunities for deeper discussion in future sessions, and better mechanisms for tracking how input leads to real change.

In response to your feedback, we will implement the following improvements:

• Format & pacing: We’ll balance discussion and presentation more evenly, allowing more time for deliberation and questions.

• Representation: We’ll aim to invite a broader and more diverse range of participants and perspectives to ensure more balanced dialogue.

• Pre-session materials: We will refine and streamline the pre-reading so it’s more engaging and digestible, with key points highlighted.

• Follow-up & accountability: We commit to publishing a clear summary of actions arising from the panel, and to tracking progress against those actions. We’ll also offer optional check-in sessions or updates so participants can see how their feedback has been used.

Thank you to everyone who took part — your insights are critical to making our engagement processes more meaningful and responsive.
