Oliver McGowan Tier 2 Training - London

Service Description

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is named after Oliver McGowan, whose death shone a light on the need for health and social care staff to have better training. The Health and Care Act 2022 introduced a requirement that regulated service providers must ensure their staff receive learning disability and autism training appropriate to their role. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is the standardised training that was developed for this purpose and is the government's preferred and recommended training for health and social care staff. Attending the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disabilities and Autism - Tier 2 in-person training will increase your curiosity, capability and will remind you of strategies and resources that can improve communication and patient experience. This training forms the second part of the Tier 2 standardised training. The sessions are delivered by a trained facilitator alongside an autistic co-trainer and a co-trainer with a learning disability. Prior to attending this training, you must have completed the eLearning, which is available on E-Learning for Healthcare via this link: https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/programmes/the-oliver-mcgowan-mandatory-training-on-learning-disability-and-autism/ To receive a badge on completion of the Tier 2 training (which can be both physical and digital for email signatures), you must complete a session on both learning disability and autism. The full day training includes both of these sessions - the learning disability session will run in the morning before a lunch break, and the autism session will run in the afternoon.
