Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training

Tier Two one day face to face mandatory training

Who is the training for?

The tragic and avoidable death of Oliver McGowan led to the implementation of mandatory training for all health and social care workers on learning disabilities and autism, as stipulated in the Health and Care Act 2022.

The Oliver McGown Mandatory Training is the preferred and recommended government training and all Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered services must ensure their employees receive appropriate training in learning disability and autism.

The goal of the training is to equip health and social care workers with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide appropriate care and reasonable adjustments for people with learning disabilities and autism, thereby reducing health inequalities.
