During November and December we have been working in partnership with Childline, in order to deliver GamCare’s Young Person’s Gambling Harm Prevention Programme to frontline staff and volunteers working directly with young people.
So far over 100 members of the Childline team have attended the sessions and with several more sessions booked for the New Year this has been a great opportunity to raise awareness of gambling harms in young people.
The feedback from those that attended has been positive and particular reference has been made to the eye-opening section relating to video games and loot boxes.
