Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is designed to improve understanding of learning disabilities and autism across health and social care. It supports staff to provide more informed, respectful, and person-centred care.

Why This Training Matters

People with a learning disability or autism can experience barriers when accessing care. Misunderstanding communication needs, sensory differences, or reasonable adjustments can lead to distress and poorer outcomes.

The training encourages professionals to listen, adapt, and work in partnership with the person and those who know them best.

What Learners Explore

Training covers the experiences of people with learning disabilities and autistic people, including the importance of communication, dignity, consent, and individual preferences. It also looks at how services can make reasonable adjustments and respond appropriately when someone is anxious or distressed.

Putting Learning into Practice

The value of training is in the everyday changes it inspires. Staff may use clearer language, allow more time, reduce sensory pressures, involve families and advocates, or check understanding in a different way.

Small adjustments can have a significant impact on a person's experience of care.

A Whole-Team Responsibility

Inclusive care is not the responsibility of one role or department. Reception teams, support workers, clinicians, managers, and administrators all contribute to how welcoming and accessible a service feels.

Regular discussion and reflection can help teams turn training into consistent practice.
