FRT How We Created Our New Learning Disability and Autism Course

In response to the Health and Care Act 2022, First Response Training has developed a comprehensive Learning Disability and Autism training course, fully aligned with Section 181 and Regulation 18.

Designed for health and social care professionals, our blended course combines evidence-based content with powerful contributions from people with lived experience. Co-created with autistic individuals and people with learning disabilities, this training blends eLearning and interactive instructor-led sessions to promote empathy, understanding, and person-centred care.

From extensive collaboration and expert feedback to engaging delivery methods and real voices, this course reflects the very individuals it’s designed to support. It's not just mandatory, it’s meaningful.
