Oliver McGowan Training on Learning Disability and Autism
The Health and Care Act 2022 states that regulated service providers must ensure that all health and care staff have appropriate training on Learning Disability and Autism. The Oliver McGowan training is the Government’s preferred training as it has been co-developed, co-trialled and evaluated and is co-delivered by autistic people and people with Learning Disabilities.
