Commitment to Excellence: Our Team Completes the Oliver McGowan Training
Posted on 3rd September 2024
At Seven Care Services, we pride ourselves on being a specialist provider of high-quality care and support. Our commitment to excellence means that we are always seeking ways to enhance our services and ensure that our staff are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide the best possible care. It is with this commitment in mind that we are pleased to announce that all our staff have successfully completed the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism.
What is the Oliver McGowan Training?
The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism is a crucial initiative aimed at improving the understanding, awareness, and quality of care provided to individuals with learning disabilities and autism. The training was named in honour of Oliver McGowan, a young man with autism and a mild learning disability who tragically lost his life due to a lack of understanding and appropriate care. His parents, Paula and Tom McGowan, have since campaigned tirelessly to ensure that health and social care staff across the UK receive proper training to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.
The training is designed to provide staff with a comprehensive understanding of the specific needs of individuals with learning disabilities and autism. It covers essential areas such as effective communication, recognising and responding to behavioural needs, and ensuring that care practices are person-centred and inclusive. By completing this training, our staff are better equipped to deliver care that is not only safe and respectful but also tailored to the unique needs of each individual.
The Importance of the Oliver McGowan Training
At Seven Care Services, we recognise the importance of this training in ensuring that we provide the highest standard of care to the people we support. Individuals with learning disabilities and autism often face significant challenges in their day-to-day lives, and it is our responsibility as care providers to ensure that we understand these challenges and respond to them with empathy, professionalism, and skill.
The completion of the Oliver McGowan training by all our staff is a testament to our commitment to this responsibility. It reflects our dedication to continuous learning and improvement, ensuring that we are always prepared to meet the evolving needs of those in our care.
Our Role as a Specialist Provider
As a specialist provider of care and support, Seven Care Services is required to meet stringent standards of care, including mandatory training requirements such as the Oliver McGowan training. This requirement is not just a regulatory obligation but a crucial component of our mission to provide exceptional care.
We understand that the people we support depend on us to provide them with care that is informed, compassionate, and respectful of their individual needs. By ensuring that our staff are trained to the highest standards, we are honouring this trust and delivering on our promise of excellence in care.
Conclusion
The completion of the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism by all our staff is a significant milestone in our ongoing journey to provide outstanding care and support. We are proud of our team's dedication to this important training and confident that it will enhance the quality of care we offer.
