Oliver’s tragic story
Paulamc007 · 03/08/2018 11:49
Hi, I’m hoping you can help me. My son Oliver died as a result of NHS staff not having autism and learning disability training. I’m campaigning to make autism training compulsory for NHS staff so that there isn’t any further needless deaths. Could I please put a post on your group promoting my petition? I believe it is relevant to the members of your group and I’d really appreciate your support in helping to get to 100,000 signatures so that the Government will debate it. We currently have almost 30,000 signatures Many thanks in advance. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/221033 — with Oliver McGowan.

I am so sorry to hear abput your son. I hope you are managing to cope. I quite agree with you. MH training for HCP's is woeful and yet they think they know it all. It's why my local a&e department was rated as "requires improvement".
