EPIC Risk Management and WHYSUP team up to create a new Gambling Harm Education Programme for secondary schools and colleges. It will focus on education, awareness and prevention surrounding gambling-related harm. The Covid-19 pandemic has increased participation in online gambling and gaming. Around 500,000 children aged 11 to 16 gamble every week in the UK and 87% of young people play online games every day. There is a rise in mental health concerns among children. EPIC will continue to work with independent schools on a privately funded basis.

EPIC and Teen Tips are working on a project to address gambling related harm and mental health. The sessions will include information on warning signs and links to support.

Mark Murray, Director of WHYSUP Ltd. is proud to contribute to the project. He has seen first-hand the devastating impact gambling addiction can have on young people and their families. It is important that parents and schools educate their children about the risks and how to manage the risk.
