Below you can find some selected quotes from the video interview.
“It became really clear during the seminar that the committee required short, sharp, punchy presentations from the speakers, rather than a traditional academic delivery which I was accustomed to […] And similarly the written evidence needed to be adjusted to suit a non-academic, non-law audience, speaking directly to the questions presented in the Call for Evidence...”
“I was really nervous about interacting with notable Members, but the Committee were extremely welcoming and receptive, the questions after the talk were manageable and they really challenged me to speak concisely and precisely.”
“... this entire experience is incredibly enjoyable and valuable, and the team are really welcoming and friendly, and there is an overarching sense that what you are doing is making a real difference by contributing.”
