The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced a statutory requirement that regulated service providers must ensure their staff receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is the standardised training developed for this purpose and is the government’s recommended training for health and social care staff.

Once you have completed the eLearning (Part 1 of the training), you must attend Part 2 of The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training which is now open for bookings. This is a one-hour online interactive session co-delivered by a person with a learning disability, an autistic person, and a facilitator.
