Participant Information:

Speaker presentations will guide four focused debates. These will be
developed further via two additional roundtable sessions. The
proceedings will be used to inform two main outputs: (a) a policy brief;
and (b) a media tool kit. The oral contributions used to inform outputs
will be anonymised. It is intended for all discourse to be recorded on a
Dictaphone, which will be transcribed and used to generate these and
other outputs, e.g. blog posts. Outputs will be disseminated publicly,
online and beyond. Participation in the above workshop proceedings will
be considered as the participant’s agreement and informed consent.
