AHEAD Member Webinar Series 2020 Schedule 

AHEAD greatly value our members and their support in our work to create inclusive environments in education and employment for people with disabilities. Their support is very important to AHEAD's work in information provision, advocacy work, research, training, events and production of resources for the sectors.

We are pleased to be able to provide a range of free and exclusive AHEAD Members Only Webinars to show our appreciation for their support and to help equip our members with key resources on areas relevant to them. We circulated a survey asking members what they would be interested in AHEAD covering for the webinars and below is the first instalment of a range of Members Only Webinars which will take place this year and next year based on members' responses. 

If you aren't sure if your institution/organisation is a member you can check on The AHEAD Member Webpage. Also if you have any queries about the upcoming events or have any ideas about what you would like covered for the second instalment next year please feel free to contact us at christine.hynes@ahead.ie
