two.1.4) Short description

The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training (OMMT) is the government's recommended training for health and social care staff on learning disability and autism training and is recognised by national bodies advising on standards for the health and care sector. This training has been adopted by NCL ICS NHS Trusts, and rollout of the pre-requisite e-Learning of the training is underway.

Following a review of Tier 2 training delivery options to meet the requirements of the Act, the North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) has agreed to procure an Oliver McGowan Tier 2 training service to progress initial rollout to the NCL ICS Tier 2 health and care staff who work face to face with patients and service users.
Oliver McGowan Tier 2 training consists of two half-day face to face (in person) training sessions:
• Tier 2 session 1: learning disability is co-delivered face to face (in person) by two approved trainers - a facilitating trainer and an expert with lived experience of learning disability co-trainer. The learning disability session must always be delivered first.

• Tier 2 session 2: autism is co-delivered face to face (in person) by two approved trainers – a facilitating trainer and an expert with lived experience of autism co-trainer.

Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust are hosting the initial Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training rollout to NHS Trusts within North Central London on behalf of the North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB), utilising funding from NHS England for this purpose.

The contract will cover the delivery of 192 Tier 2 full day training sessions over a 48-week period, which equates to four sessions per week, following training teams’ mobilisation.
Each Tier 2 full day training session will deliver to a maximum of 30 NHS delegates.
Training will be provided at NHS Trust locations across Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, Camden, and Islington.
As per Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training requirements, each training delivery team will comprise of a facilitating trainer, an autistic co-trainer, and a co-trainer with learning disabilities.
Each training team member will be required to complete the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training “Train the Trainer (TTT)” course and be approved by the NCL ICS Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training Lead Trainer before commencing training delivery.
Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust, on behalf of the NCL ICB, is committed to developing a partnership approach with the successful provider and providing the resources required to support the mobilisation of the Tier 2 training teams through the provision of the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training “Train the Trainer (TTT)” courses to the successful provider, should the provider not yet be on the approved OMMT Training Providers List.
The contract length proposed will be Twelve (12) months plus an option to extend for a further Twelve (12) month period.
For clarity, the responsibility for providing the training venues, and managing the delegate bookings, sits with Barnet Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust, on behalf of the NCL ICB. The venues will all have the relevant facilities needed to present the training, including internet access.
The Provider will provide OMMT completion certificates, post each session, to be issued to delegates.
