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. We expect Boost will hold all mandatory learning disability and autism awareness training that meets the requirements of the Health & Social Care Act and Code of Practice that is available across NENC. We are looking for a team to build onto the existing Learning Academy digital platform that meets the requirements outlines in the Standards and Service Specification within the Invitation to Quote document.
