Law firm Bolt Burdon Kemp, which acts for people with a spinal cord injury, has launched a student design competition to help people with the injury. The ‘Getting Back on Track’ competition aims to raise awareness and provide practical help. Entries could be a product that creates an easy way to change a lightbulb, for example, or a specially adapted dishwasher. Partner Raquel Siganporia said the firm had produced a video to help students understand how simple, everyday tasks can present a challenge for her clients. First prize is £3,000, and entries close on 21 May 2018. For more information, visit the web page here.
