The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism

The training is named after Oliver McGowan. Oliver was a young man whose death shone a light on the need for health and social care staff to have better skills, knowledge and understanding of the needs for autistic people and people with a learning disability.

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is the government’s mandatory training for health and social care staff.

Oliver’s training is delivered in 2 Tiers. Staff need to complete either Tier 1 or Tier 2.

Both tiers consist of 2 parts.

The first part of both Tier 1 and Tier 2 is this elearning.
Everyone will need the elearning regardless of where they work and the Tier of training they require.  It is free to access.

The second part of the training is either a live 1 hour online interactive session for those needing Tier 1, or, a 1-day face to face training for people who require Tier 2.
