What is the Oliver McGowan Training?
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism was developed following the tragic story of Oliver McGowan, a young man whose life highlighted the need for better understanding and awareness of the needs of people with learning disabilities and autism within health and social care. This training ensures that all health and social care staff receive the right level of knowledge and skills to support autistic people and people with learning disabilities with dignity, understanding and respect.
Why is Oliver McGowen training important?
Every individual deserves to be understood, listened to, and supported in a way that recognises their unique needs. The Oliver McGowan Training promotes better communication, empathy and confidence among care professionals, helping to reduce inequalities and improve the quality of care across the sector. By having qualified in-house trainers at GoodOaks Mid Sussex, the branch can ensure that their teams receive this essential training to the highest standard, embedding these values at the heart of everything we do throughout our network. It also means that they are now registered on the national NHS database.Â
