The Safer Gambling Standardedit
The Safer Gambling Standard is the social responsibility quality standard for licensed gambling operators. The Standard is a set of best practice standards developed out of a combination of academic evidence in Safer Gambling practices, GamCare service user input, and GamCare’s knowledge and experience from over 25 years of work with those affected by gambling harms, and the gambling industry itself.[5]
GamCare Youth Servicesedit
GamCare hosts Youth Outreach Programs, offering interactive workshops for young people, as well as training for the professionals that support them (such as teachers and youth workers).[6]
GamCare and Samaritans together developed a suite of training materials for gambling businesses, to raise awareness of the risk of gambling-related suicide and to give gambling staff the skills and confidence to support customers who may be at risk.[7]
