    Brief

    The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is a standardised, government-preferred training programme required under the Health and Care Act 2022 for health and social care staff. This statutory requirement ensures regulated service providers deliver appropriate training to their staff based on role requirements. The training combines free NHS eLearning with either a webinar or one-day face-to-face course, depending on job role. Delivered by trained and approved trainers using consistent, standardised content, the training is transferable between employers and recognised by national health and care sector standards bodies. This training opportunity addresses critical gaps in staff knowledge following the case of Oliver McGowan and aims to improve care quality and safety for individuals with learning disabilities and autism.
