Quality Assured Care Learning (QACLS)
Accreditation you can trust
Oliver McGowan was born in Bristol
He lived with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism and learning disabilities and led a very happy life with his supportive family.
Oliver sadly passed away on 11th November 2016, aged just 18, following a series of events by healthcare professionals that "let him down"
An inquest followed his untimely death, from which new regulations and guidance were issued for the Health and Social Care sector. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training in Learning Disability and Autism was born.
The new Regulation in The Health and Care Act 2022 says "From 1 July 2022, all health and social care providers registered with CQC must ensure that their staff receive training in how to interact appropriately with people who have a learning disability and autistic people, at a level appropriate to their role" and this applies to all health and care staff as well as ancillary staff who may have contact with people with a learning disability and autistic people, such as administrative staff
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is the standardised training that was developed for this purpose and is the government's preferred and recommended training for health and social care staff.
How is training delivered?
Training is delivered remotely via the zoom platform and is co-delivered by two trainers with lived experience of learning disability and autism. This allows all attendees to gain vital first-person perspectives on living with a learning disability.
We are a Tier 1 approved provider, which is for individuals who require general awareness of the support autistic people or people with a learning disability may need. All attendees receive certification of training.
Pricing for this training is £25 per attendee, for a maximum of 30 attendees at a time, and is subject to a minimum spend of £300. Organisations that are registered and onboarded to the LDSS (Learning and Development Support Scheme) are advised the cost of the Tier 1 OMMT training can now be reimbursed through their funding stream. Please advise us at the time of booking that you will be using LDSS funding, as we need to ensure any paperwork we issue you is compliant for their needs and audit processes. Only organisations that have onboarded with the LDSS will be able to make a claim, and it is not available for any individuals to claim.
We are taking new booking enquiries now.
