As of 1st July 2022, learning disability and autism training for health and care staff is required by the Health and Care Act 2022. This includes ancillary staff, such as support workers, who may come into contact with people with a learning disability or autism in the course of their work.
Health and social care providers are responsible for providing this training.
Autism Awareness training is also important for staff in the education sector. Understanding more about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will help your staff create a better, more accessible environment for people with autism.
This Autism Awareness Train the Trainer course allows staff to tailor training specifically to your organisation.
