Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training

Since July 2022, all registered CQC providers are now required to conduct appropriate training on learning disabilities and autism. The training is aimed at improving the support offered to people with learning disabilities and those who are autistic.

The training is associated with a young autistic person called Oliver McGowan, whose death further highlighted the ongoing need for better training. After years of campaigning by his family, Health Education England (HEE) and Skills for Care have developed the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training (OMMT) Framework for Learning Disabilities and Autism.

By completing OMMT, staff gain a comprehensive understanding of the needs and challenges faced by individuals with learning disabilities and autism. Helping to provide them with safe, compassionate and informed care.

The training has both online and in person components available to all. It has been developed to be flexible and accessible. It covers a range of topics, including:

  • The needs of autistic people and people with learning disabilities
  • Communication and interaction
  • Physical health and wellbeing
  • Mental health and wellbeing
  • Safeguarding
  • Equality and Diversity
