Pre-panel survey reactions to the visions

In the pre-panel survey, after reading each vision the participants were asked the short, open questions: "Is there anything you like about this vision?" and "Is there anything you dislike about this vision?" When presenting back the results from the second part of the pre-panel survey, we simplified the reactions to the visions into thematic summaries rather than detailed quotes. 

The short overview usually provides a mix of reassurance that a panellist's responses were not entirely unique, whilst also identifying areas of difference. This supports follow-up conversation in the next activity. 

The flavour of the results in Camden and Edinburgh were as follows.

The attached slidedeck contains the summaries presented to panellists at the Edinburgh citizen panel. This is provided as an example of the format and level of detail that the original team presented back to our panellists. It should not be taken as an archetype/ideal, as comprehensive. Your own results may be very different.

The main emphasis is that the information presented is short and visually emphasises the key phrases in bold type. Whilst the text is closely derived from the answers submitted to the survey, they are not presented as quotations, and the original author is not identified. They are prompts to rapidly develop a group conversation in the workshop.
