Course overview
Tier 1 is for staff who are NOT patient or client facing, and DO NOT have direct contact with patients or clients. The Tier 1 online course equips health and social care staff with the necessary knowledge and skills to provide high-quality, person-centred care for individuals with learning disabilities and autism.
Tier 1 consists of a 60-minute virtual workshop via MS Teams, delivered by our team of expert trainers. These are individuals who are trained to deliver the Oliver McGowan Tier 1 sessions but who also have the unique perspective of being trainers with a learning disability and/or autism and will share their own stories to bring the content into a lived perspective.
