In 2022 the Government introduced a new mandatory training requirement for all health and care staff working in regulated services; it is about improving support for people with learning disabilities and autistic people. The training is often associated with a young man named Oliver McGowan, whose death further highlighted the ongoing need for better training for health and social care staff. The intention is to help staff to understand the needs of people with learning disabilities and autistic people and how to provide them with safe, compassionate and informed care. The government is committed to ensuring that all people with learning disabilities and autistic people have access to high-quality care. The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training (https://www.hee.nhs.uk/our-work/learning-disability/current-projects/oliver-mcgowan-mandatory-training-learning-disability-autism) is an important step in achieving this goal. Further details of the work currently underway are described on our Kent and Medway Integrated Care System website (https://www.kmhealthandcare.uk/careers/oliver-mcgowan-training). Kent and Medway Integrated Care System (K&M ICS) is looking to appoint a suitably skilled, experienced and qualified collaborative supplier to lead the development of a project to sustainably increase the number and capability of neurodivergent people in the workforce, starting with the delivery of training as described in the Health and Care Act 2022: Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2022/31/section/181/enacted). The Commencement Date for the delivery of the services is scheduled to be on 8th January 2024 at 00:00 hours. The Contract will be awarded for a period of two (2) years until 7th January 2026, with an option to extend for a further periods of six (6) months subject to performance and the absolute discretion of the Authority.
