Oliver McGowan Tier 2 is delivered by trained facilitators working alongside co-trainers with lived experience of learning disability and/or autism. This course is for the people who will stand at the front of that room.
Everyone must have completed Part 1 — the free Oliver McGowan e-learning — before they join. We'll ask you to confirm this when you enquire.
NHS England sets out what it expects of people who facilitate Tier 2 training. Tell us about your background when you enquire and we'll talk it through with you before you book.
We cap every course at five people, so you're not one face in a big group — you'll get proper attention from the trainers.
WHAT THE COURSE IS FOR
The course prepares you to teach the Oliver McGowan Tier 2 content with confidence and to the national standard.
Getting to grips with what Tier 2 teaches — from communication and reasonable adjustments to diagnostic overshadowing and reducing restrictive practice.
Tier 2 is never taught alone. You'll learn how to work as a pair with a co-trainer who has lived experience of learning disability and/or autism.
Understanding what the national guidance expects of the people who deliver Tier 2, so what you teach is consistent and defensible.
WHO YOU'LL BE LEARNING FROM
Our trainers deliver Oliver McGowan Tier 2 themselves and are led by the team behind Innovations in Care, a care service rated Outstanding by the CQC. Every Tier 2 session we run is co-delivered with someone with lived experience of learning disability and/or autism.

We train in-house at our centre in Hull — currently at Innovations in Care, moving to Netherhall House, our purpose-built training facility, in the new year.
