Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training: Tier 2

Tier 2 is a full-day, face-to-face training session designed for people who provide care or support to autistic people and people with a learning disability. 

Before attending, you will be asked to complete a short online e-learning module, so that the day of training can focus on real-world understanding and practical skills. 

During the day, you will:

• Hear directly from people with lived experience, who co-deliver the training alongside our trainer
• Build a deeper level of understanding of a learning disability and autism
• Explore how to communicate in ways that work for other people
• Learn how to make reasonable adjustments in your day-to-day role
• Reflect on real-life situations and how you can improve the care and support you provide.

Tier 2 of Oliver's Training is interactive and discussion-led to help you build confidence, not just knowledge. It focuses on what really makes a difference in your day-to-day interactions. 

Anyone can sign up to Tier 2 of Oliver’s Training. However, it is specifically designed for people who provide care, support or services to autistic people and people with a learning disability, helping them build the skills and confidence needed in their role. Tier 2 of Oliver's Training is specifically designed for people who provide care, support or services to autistic people or people with a learning disability as part of their role. 

This can include:

• Health and social care professionals
• Support workers and care staff
• Staff in residential, community or clinical settings
• Anyone who may need to work directly with people with a learning disability or autistic people

It also applies to roles where this contact may not happen every day, but could happen at any time. In many settings, this means most frontline staff and those involved in delivering care or making decisions about support will need Tier 2 training.
