The Oliver McGowan mandatory training on learning disability and autism
The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced a statutory requirement that regulated service providers ensure their staff receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role.
Aiming to save lives by ensuring our health and social care workforce have the right skills and knowledge to provide safe, compassionate and informed care the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is named after Oliver McGowan, whose death highlighted the need for better health and social care staff training.
It is the standardised training developed for this purpose and is the government's preferred and recommended training for health and social care staff.
If you or your staff need this we can help.
So far, we’ve trained 3,000 people
