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 e-learning.
Everyone will need the e-learning 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.
