On the 5^th of March we held a webinar to launch the PREPARED project and our first call for proposals. The event outlined the aims of the PREPARED project, key points for applicants and introduced the supervisors and their research interests. The webinar was recorded and made available on the Centre for Disability Law and Policy's YouTube channel for potential applicants who could not attend.

Unfortunately, due to a technical issue the international sign language interpretation provided during the session is not visible when speakers are sharing presentations or slides. Therefore, two copies of the recording are provided below.
