Why Organisations Choose UTS

Unlocking Access: How NHS Trusts, ICBs and Emergency Services providers can now commission Oliver McGowan Training via Unique Training Solutions.

Back

Across the UK, organisations are rethinking what “good training” really looks like—especially when it comes to the Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training on Learning Disability and Autism.

For customers of Unique Training Solutions, the conversation has clearly shifted. This is no longer about simply purchasing a training course. It’s about investing in confidence, credibility, and measurable impact.

When NHS Trusts, Local Authorities, and large health and social care providers commission this training, expectations are high—and rightly so. From ongoing conversations with partners and clients, a clear checklist has emerged that explains exactly why Unique Training Solutions continues to be chosen as a core provider.

What Organisations Are Really Looking For

Absolute Compliance

Organisations need complete confidence that their training meets national requirements. Unique Training Solutions delivers full alignment with the standards set by NHS England and Skills for Care within the Oliver McGowan programme—removing uncertainty and ensuring organisations remain fully compliant.

Genuine Co-Production

This is not optional—it’s essential.

With a team of over 120 lived experience experts with a learning disability and/or autism, Unique Training Solutions ensures that co-production is not just included, but embedded. The result is training that is authentic, powerful, and grounded in real experiences.

Proven Credibility and Track Record

Large organisations need assurance that their provider can deliver at scale and complexity. Unique Training Solutions brings a strong portfolio of successful delivery across large workforces, demonstrating reliability and consistency in high-demand environments.

Quality That Changes Practice

Training should do more than inform—it should transform.

Through robust evaluation, meaningful feedback, and clear outcomes, organisations are seeing real evidence that this training is influencing practice and improving the way services are delivered.

Scalability Across Organisations

Whether it’s multiple departments, services, or nationwide delivery, scalability is critical. Unique Training Solutions has the infrastructure and expertise to deliver consistently across diverse and geographically spread organisations.

NHS Framework Approval

Being approved under the Training and Development Services – East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub framework provides an added layer of trust. It reassures organisations that procurement is simplified and standards are independently validated.

Accessibility and Inclusion

The training doesn’t just teach inclusion—it models it.

Every element of delivery reflects the values of accessibility, ensuring all participants can engage meaningfully regardless of their needs.

Strong Governance

For large organisations, governance is non-negotiable.

Unique Training Solutions provides robust safeguarding processes, clear policies, and high professional standards—giving organisations confidence in both delivery and accountability.

More Than Compliance—A Cultural Shift

Ultimately, organisations are choosing Unique Training Solutions because they understand something fundamental:

This training is not just about compliance.

It’s about reshaping how services understand, support, and include people with learning disabilities and autistic people. It’s about creating lasting change in attitudes, behaviours, and outcomes.

Continuing the Conversation

If you’re commissioning Oliver McGowan training—or planning a rollout within your organisation—it’s worth asking:

What matters most to you?

Because choosing the right provider isn’t just a procurement decision.

It’s a decision that directly impacts the quality, inclusivity, and effectiveness of the services you deliver.
