The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is for all health and care staff working in CQC regulated services.

The training comes in two tiers so all staff working across all CQC registered services can receive the right level of mandatory training.

Tier 1: All staff in healthcare settings (provides an awareness of the legal framework and its application). 

Tier 2: The minimum training required for anyone required to offer face to face care or support.

Tier 1 and 2 can be accessed via the e-Learning for Healthcare website. Everyone working in health and care is required to complete this training, no matter where they work.

In the future, staff will need to complete their training by attending either a one-hour online interactive session (Tier 1) or a one-day face-to-face training session (Tier 2). Both of these will be available in early 2023.
