This innovative training has been developed with expertise from people with a learning disability and autistic people as well as their families and carers. The training also aims to ensure the health and social care workforce have the right skills and knowledge to provide safe, compassionate and informed care to autistic people and people with a learning disability. Greater knowledge of learning disability and autism will ensure that care can be better tailored to suit people's needs and it is expected to lead to better interactions and outcomes and fewer incidents of inequality and avoidable deaths for people with a learning disability and autistic people when they need to receive care. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is the government's recommended training for health and care staff to undertake and is a standardised package that is co-produced and co-delivered by trained and approved trainers. These trainers include a facilitator, a person with a learning disability and an autistic person, known as a training trio. What training is required, and how does it need to be delivered?: NHS Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board (BOB ICB) is seeking to engage potential suppliers who could support delivery of Part 2 of the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training. This includes: • Tier 1 - a 60 minute online interactive webinar session for staff that require general awareness of people with a learning disability or autistic people, and the support they may need, and; • Tier 2 - a full day face to face (in person) training session for staff with responsibility for providing care and support for people with a learning disability or autistic people. The full day training can be split over two days, if appropriate. Both the Tier 1 and Tier 2 training is required to be delivered by a trio of trainers, including a person with a learning disability and an autistic person, supported by a facilitator.
