GamCare calls for responsible gambling education to be part of school curriculum
For the vast majority, gambling is a pleasurable leisure pursuit. But we also know that at any one time some 60,000 12-15 year olds may already be problem gamblers – a prevalence rate of 2%, more than twice that for adults. The answer to this must lie in better education – for teenagers, parents and teachers.”
Giving evidence to the Culture Select Committee inquiry into gambling, he drew attention to the opportunity afforded by the DfE’s review.
“The DfE’s review gives us the chance to make the case that the PSHE curriculum should raise awareness about the potential risks of gambling and include information about understanding risk and probability, and how to gamble responsibly – in exactly the way young people are already offered advice about the risks of drinking alcohol, taking drugs or smoking.”
