Neurodiversity Training

We provide a range of courses to introduce workers to specific neurodevelopmental conditions, such as Autism and ADHD. We also provide training in learning disabilities and mandatory training to enable health and care providers to meet the new training requirements under the Health and Care Act 2022. We have a full Neurodiversity Training Brochure which is free to download and have provided a summary of some of our key training options below.

Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability & Autism

Widely recognised as the gold standard in Learning Disability & Autism training, this requires learners to complete free eLearning before attending. Following the eLearning, learners complete either the Tier 1 one-hour webinar or the Tier 2 full-day, face-to-face session.

FRT Mandatory Autism & Learning Disabilities Training

Also co-produced and co-delivered by autistic trainers and trainers with learning disabilities, our course offers a more flexible and affordable approach. The training includes a self-paced eLearning module (up to half a day) and a half-day instructor-led session, available either in person or via webinar.

Requirements Under the Health and Care Act 2022

Training on learning disability and autism is a legal requirement for all health and social care staff under the Health and Care Act 2022.

This training ensures professionals receive education appropriate to their role, improving their understanding of learning disabilities and autism to provide better support. Training must involve autistic people and individuals with learning disabilities in its design and delivery.

The government has set standards for the content, delivery methods, and accreditation of this training to ensure consistency across the sector. Compliance with these requirements is essential to meet regulatory standards and deliver inclusive, high-quality care.
