The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is named after Oliver McGowan, whose death shone a light on the need for health and social care staff to have better training.
The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced a requirement that regulated service providers must ensure their staff receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role.
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is the standardised training that was developed for this purpose and is the government's preferred and recommended training for health and social care staff.
Together we can prevent the many avoidable deaths like Oliver’s from happening again.
Please read the following information carefully:
This face to face training forms the second part of the Tier 2 standardised training. Sessions are delivered by a trained facilitator, alongside an autistic co-trainer and a co-trainer with a learning disability.
