The training is named after Oliver McGowan.

Oliver was a young man who died because health and social care staff did not have the right training.

This showed the need for staff to:

• 📘 Have better understanding
• 🧠 Build the right knowledge
• 🛡️ Give safe and caring support

Because of this, the Government made this training mandatory.
