Inspired Learning Solutions is an approved provider of both Tier 1 and Tier 2 Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism, helping health and social care organisations meet their statutory training requirements while improving the quality of care for autistic people and people with a learning disability.
Whether you’re a care home, domiciliary care provider, supported living service, NHS organisation or other CQC-regulated provider, our experienced team delivers engaging, compliant training that equips your workforce with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills they need.
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is the Government’s preferred and recommended training programme designed to improve the care, treatment and support provided to autistic people and people with a learning disability.
Following the Health and Care Act 2022, CQC-regulated providers must ensure staff receive learning disability and autism training that is appropriate for their role. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training has become the recognised standard for meeting these requirements and is assessed during CQC inspections.
At Inspired Learning Solutions, we deliver both approved training pathways, ensuring your organisation remains compliant while creating lasting improvements in person-centred care.

The training is delivered in two separate tiers, depending on the employee’s role.
Tier 1 is suitable for employees whose roles involve little or no direct interaction with people who have a learning disability or autism, including:

The Oliver McGowan Code of Practice requires providers to ensure staff receive training appropriate to their role and that organisations can evidence compliance through robust training records and workforce planning.
