Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training - Tier 2 in Highbridge

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Tier 2 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.

Together, we can prevent the many avoidable deaths like Oliver’s from happening again.
