The Health and Care Act 2022 legally requires registered health and care providers in England ensure their staff receive training on learning disabilities and autism.

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training is the government’s preferred training package. It was named after Oliver McGowan, a young man with mild autism and a learning disability who died after being given antipsychotic medication despite known adverse reactions. His death exposed gaps in healthcare professionals’ understanding, leading his mother, Paula McGowan, to campaign for compulsory training to ensure safer, more informed care.

‘The published Code of Practice for the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism states that the training should be retaken at least every three years, or sooner if an individual’s role or responsibilities change.’
