Participants hear balanced, accurate and comprehensive information and evidence, proportionate to the question or purpose.
If using multiple speakers, there should be a diversity of speakers with a range of views.
Speakers do not lead or direct the participants.
Participants determine their own questions for the speaker(s) and have sufficient time to question them.
The learning phase supports the subsequent dialogue and deliberation, enabling participants to arrive at informed and considered judgements.
| Questions you should ask yourself to see if you meet this standard: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Will the speakers be representative of different backgrounds, disciplines, and viewpoints (if applicable)? |
| 2 | Have I briefed the speakers to ensure they understand they should not lead or direct the participants? |
| 3 | Have I provided participants with the opportunity and support to formulate their own questions for the speakers? |
