AMG Care Training offers The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism – Tier 2, delivered by our approved trainers. This one-day training course is designed to develop health and social care staff’s knowledge, understanding and skills to support autistic people and people with a learning disability, promoting high-quality, person-centred care.

The training is suitable for health and social care professionals and other staff who provide care and support to autistic people and people with a learning disability. It aims to strengthen staff confidence, improve understanding of individual needs and support the delivery of compassionate, inclusive and person-centred services.

The training is named after Oliver McGowan, a young man whose death highlighted the need for better training and understanding among health and social care staff about the needs of autistic people and people with a learning disability.
