Background
In July 2022 the government introduced a requirement for CQC registered service providers to ensure their employees receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role. This requirement is set out in the Health and Care Act 2022.
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is the standardised training that was developed for this purpose. It is the government’s preferred and recommended training for health and social care staff to undertake.
The training is co-delivered by trainers with lived experience of learning disability and autism who are paid for their time.
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism comes in two Tiers of training. Staff will undertake Tier 1 or Tier 2, depending on their role.
Tier 1:
This is for people who require general awareness of the support autistic people or people with a learning disability may need. Tier 1 requires completion of the elearning and the 1 hour online interactive session.
Tier 2:
This is for people who may need to provide care and support for autistic people or people with a learning disability. Tier 2 requires completion of the elearning and the 1-day face to face training session.
