two.1.4) Short description

In July 2022 an amendment was made to then Health & Social Care Act that all regulated health and care providers must provide mandatory learning disability autism awareness training to their whole workforce that is appropriate to their role. A Code of Practice is yet to be published by the Government, but it is expected to say this training needs to be co-developed and co-delivered with a experts of lived experience of autism and learning disability. The national NHSE response has been the development of the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training. This is a 2 tier programme and is to be delivered every 3 years.

The North East North Cumbria has Boost as their learning academy which is a centralised offer across the NENC ICS workforce for people to access their training requirements.
