This Tier 1 Oliver McGowan training course is designed for staff working across the healthcare partners of the North East London Integrated Care Board (including Trusts, Community, Primary Care, and the ICB).

The training provides basic awareness, fosters understanding, promotes inclusivity, and ensures appropriate support in everyday interactions with individuals who have learning disabilities and/or autism.

Eligibility Requirements:
To access this training, staff must first complete the e-learning component of the Oliver McGowan training programme. This can be accessed via your Trust's learning management system.

Tier 1 Staff Definition:
Tier 1 staff are those in non-clinical, non-medical, or non-care roles with limited or indirect contact with individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism. Examples include administrative staff, porters, catering staff, and other non-clinical roles.

Please use the links below to book your training course. Spaces are limited and allocated based on the annual requirement to train one-third of the system's workforce. Additional spaces will be made available in summer 2025.

Important Note:
These Tier 1 courses are not intended for Tier 2 staff. Tier 2 staff are those who have direct and frequent interactions with individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism as a core part of their role. Such staff require more in-depth training to support individuals effectively and should access the appropriate Tier 2 courses.
