##### Statement to Neighbours

I think it is important to know that everyone's voice has been heard and captured throughout the whole process and it has been conducted in a fair and unbiased manner.
It was intense with a lot of information to process quickly but I enjoyed working with new people and discussing an important topic
This was amazingly informative and a well-run experience. I will miss the discussions with the people I have met over the two weeks.
This process has been really interesting and I feel quite privileged to have been invited onto this jury.
The experience has been enlightening, informative and really comfortable. It’s been an opportunity to learn more about the subject area with neutral and then persuasive arguments so that you can form your own opinions and share and develop them through deliberation with others. The way it has been set up and the people who have been in the space have made it a really enjoyable experience that I'd definitely recommend that others should try.
The Citizens’ Jury was a unique opportunity to discuss an important topic with several people I would never normally interact with on a day-to-day basis. I am usually quite opinionated and it was interesting to see experts’ conflicting ideas around the individual topics and often very difficult to pick between one side or another.
It's important to know that the jury was very structured in terms of the informative presentations and deliberations that followed, which allowed for optimal uptake of the information. It was very interactive as we discussed with each other, but also got the chance to write down our own thoughts we may not have shared. I also thought it was very useful for us to be able to ask questions to those witnesses delivering presentations.
It has been such an eye-opening experience, which I feel lucky to be a part of, especially with it relating to the current pandemic. Each presentation made valid points as well as raising concerns which made you analyse all of the information. It was nice, after so long, to interact with people, albeit online. Sarah, Kyle and the rest of the team have done an amazing job of the planning and the running of the online dury.
My experience as a juror has been so informative. I have learned a lot about the different ways our data has been used during the pandemic. I also learned a lot by listening to my colleagues’ insights on different topics. During my experience, I have changed my mind a lot after different discussions. It's been such an amazing experience and I am very glad I was able to take part.
The process allows you to express your opinions on the matter and hear other peoples’ views. It also gives you the opportunity to change your views and the views of others.
The jury is very professionally run and lots of help is available from people who know what they are doing, so no need to be anxious about taking part, falling behind or having technical problems that you won't be able to overcome.
There's a lot of information to take on board through the presentations but this has been run so efficiently, I've learnt a lot; it's superior to my time in University lectures! Kyle, Sarah and Malcolm, all the observers and guests have made the process so smooth and accommodating. The other jurors are
