Thanks for your help. I presume I can do the calibration using techstream ?

I have a 2015 RCF and am planning to have the wheel alignment done. Does the Steering angle sensor need calibrating after it’s been done or does it self calibrate?

Yes dealers can do it. I think a lot of people don’t seem to bother unless they get faults on the dash coming up. To be fair I would think there is probably only going to be issues if the adjustments to the alignment required were quite large. After I had my alignment done I checked the steering angle sensor and it still read zero in the straight ahead position, similarly the yaw sensor read zero too.
That said, I did carry out zero point calibration using techstream which is free to download if you’re reasonably tech savvy; you need a cable too to connect to OBD port to a laptop. If you get one make sure it’s firmware version 2.0.4, the lower firmware versions have limited functionality; most on eBay seem to be the lower firmware. You should be able to set yourself up with all you need for about £70 for dealer level diagnostics software which can read all ECUs on the car and perform error code reading/resets and configurations/calibrations. The process for zero point calibration is straight forward, the hardest thing was finding some level ground with less then 1 degree variation!
