About the training
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism aims to save lives by ensuring the health and social care workforce has the right skills, knowledge and understanding to provide safe, compassionate and informed care to autistic people and people with a learning disability.
The training is named after Oliver McGowan, whose tragic and avoidable death highlighted the urgent need for better education and awareness across health and social care services.
Why the training matters
The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced a statutory requirement for CQC-registered providers to ensure their staff receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is the standardised, preferred and recommended training developed to meet this requirement, helping organisations deliver safer, higher-quality care.
Who should register?
This training is suitable for:
- Health and social care staff
- CQC-registered providers
- Anyone involved in providing care or support to autistic people or people with a learning disability.
Register your interest
