Prevention and education

Overview

The national strategy to reduce gambling damage was launched in April 2019 and was implemented until April 2022. The content and behavior of this page refer to the activity program to reduce gambling damage during this period.

An effective prevention plan must be an appropriate combination of intervention measures implemented at both groups and individuals.

It is also necessary to clearly understand which activities are low in effect, counterproductive effect, and should be canceled.

The "prevention" of gambling loss includes a wide range of group levels, such as restrictions on products, places, and provider. This priority includes public health messages, educational programs, and specific initiatives for those who are risky.

In future prevention plans, a wide range of approaches should be considered.

Universal measures for the benefit of the whole population

Restriction requirements, and restrictions on products, places, and providers
Safe gambling messages at stores
More safer gambling population campaign
Gambling management tool

Selective measures for the benefit of at-risk groups

Target of more secure gambling campaigns
Labor force training program for related departments and experts
Educational program for children, young people, and other vulnerable groups

Indicated measures for the benefit of at-risk individuals

exception
Economic gambling block
Customer support by gambling staff
Easy intervention and online support by the forefront staff in other environments, medical care, debt consultation, and other environments

While many prevention measures are already being implemented, some are under development. However, it is not known as a whole as a whole of the activities and programs designed to prevent loss due to gambling addiction.

Similarly, there is evidence from other areas of addiction that if preventive activities are not properly carried out, there is little effect or the risk of unintended consequences.

At the universal level, gambling operators need to provide customers with secure gambling information and provide various preventive measures to limit the time spent on gambling, money, or to leave gambling. 。

The understanding of how consumers use such tools and how to increase their usage is progressing, but this is the early stage.

Campaigns and labor education can be applied in a wide range of environments, from specialized medical and educational environments to third sectors like debt advisors.

It is not yet clear how some educational programs that are implemented at school have lon g-term actions and attitudes, but pay attention to the consistency with the curriculum and the setting of learning goals. It is.

Although regulatory requirements for identifying individuals who have been dangerous by the operation of gambling have been established, the European Commission has led further progress, and economic, public, and third sector identify these individuals. We are considering how to further develop measures to prevent harm.

By combining such activities and other activities to prevent gambling damage, you can have a positive effect, but for adjustments and evaluation, further efforts are required.

At this time, it is difficult to prove how effective any or all of these activities are in order to reduce gambling losses. Therefore, in order to measure how effective these activities are, it is an important action to develop the framework for measuring losses in the European Commission's research program.

It is also necessary to match this work with the tasks performed by other institutions.

This includes the following tasks:

Implementation of Evidens Review on Gambling damage by the Public Health England and the National Institute of Health (National Institute of Health)
It was conducted in Wales based on the 2016 to 2017 annual report "Gambling with Our Health" by Wales' Supreme Medical Officer.
Scotland Public Health Network (Scotphn) develops and implements all residents approaches to prevent and reduce gambling harm.

Framework for measuring the harm of gambling experienced by adults

range	Impact
Human relationship	Partner, family, friends, community
resource	Work and employment, money and debt, crime.
health	Physical health, psychological distress, mental health

Reducing gambling harms

We need to better understand the impact of prevention activities to reduce gambling-related harm. Current screening tools that measure the prevalence of people identified as problem gamblers provide and will continue to do so, but do not capture the full extent of gambling-related harm.

Promoting frameworks for measuring gambling harm is therefore an urgent priority for the Strategy. In addition to the framework for adults published last year, a specific framework for children and young people who may be harmed in different ways by gambling will be published shortly.

A better understanding of gambling harm in adults and children and adolescents will help target prevention and education initiatives where they can be most effective. This work will continue throughout the Strategy and beyond, and at each stage new information about these harms will be used to further improve approaches to prevention and education activities.

Gambling-related harms can affect not only young people today, but also their future chances.

These factors include:

Family economics - standard of living, attitudes and concerns about money
Development - education, social and emotional functioning
Interpersonal relationships - behaviour, family, friends, community etc.
Health - physical, mental health and emotional well-being of families.

Realising the aim

All links to external organisations on this page will open in a new tab.

A range of organisations across the UK, including Public Health England and Wales, Public Health Scotland, the Scottish Public Health Network and the Department for Education, as well as gambling charities and experts with specialist expertise, are actively working in the area of prevention and education and will continue to have a key role to support this work and help coordinate and target activity.

Work is already underway in England, Scotland and Wales, for example through the NIHR evaluation of harmful gambling, Public Health England's evidence review on the health aspects of harmful gambling and an NIHR call for proposals to measure the impact of preventive interventions.

Throughout the strategy, research, expertise and actions from all stakeholders should be shared and informed by current approaches.

This increasing evidence is reflected in the appropriate options to provide various intervention measures and the group prevention plan to consider how to provide them most effectively.

Treatment and support

Overview

The national strategy to reduce gambling damage was launched in April 2019 and was implemented until April 2022. The content and behavior of this page refer to the activity program to reduce gambling damage during this period.

True development of national treatment and support includes that you can use appropriate support at the right place at the right place.

It is more accessible for those who need treatment, improving existing outsourcing and directors, and improving care routes through primary care and social care. It means to support those who have other mental health problems at the same time as gambling harm.

Its purpose is to make a significant advancement to the current and future service users' needs, and to provide integrated and integrated treatment and support nationwide. There are a limited number of services that can be used by gambling people.

These services are limited to other addictions, geographical scope, and reach, but the number of waiting people to receive these services is relatively shorter.

We commit to NHS England's lon g-term plan (open on new tabs) and the second NHS clinic, which was entrusted by the northern gambling clinic and the Ries Support Hub (gambling away) ) We welcome the development of development by partnership.

The number of people who are considered to be damaged and can be treated, and the number of people who know that they are receiving some formal treatment or support are different.

As confirmed in the "Gambling Action in the UK" Report (PDF), about 2 million adults in the UK may have suffered some kind of damage from gambling, including 340, 000 people who are classified as a problem gambler. I am. A considerable number of people who can benefit from treatment and support may not know the options or use their options.

Currently, most of the specialized services for gambling addicted patients in the UK are entrusted through Gambleaware and provided funds. GambleaWare aims to outsource the treatment of problem gambling for free at the time of the provision of England, Scotland and Wales.

The charity has received most of the funds from industrial donations, which are provided as a condition for funding for research, prevention, and treatment. It is opaque because the amount of spontaneous donation and the recipient have not been identified. This agreement is often called "voluntary arrangements."

According to the available data, about 8. 800 people in 2017 and 2018 are treated through the services provided by Gambleaware, and 30. Networks like Gamblers Annimus, smaller, and smalle r-scale. The number of people who have been supported through a charity organization and the support groups of the local community is unknown.

This number is about 2 % of those classified as a gambler. Not all of these people need treatment, but those who are in a dangerous state, those who have experienced moderate harm, and those affected by early shor t-term treatment. In many cases, support is needed.

Primary care and other NHS services diagnose and treat people who are associated with gambling, such as alcohol dependence and mental illness.

Data on the potential of such diagnosis and treatment is limited, but it is not collected on a daily basis, so the number of people who receive some treatment and support in this way, and the NHS. It is unknown the role that the treatment service has already played.

Some people recover without support, but the fact that the number of people who are treated compared to potential needs is such an unevenness is underdeveloped for treatment and support. There are concerns that there is a lack of awareness of available services such as GPS and social workers, and there are no services that are available nationwide.

There is also a gap in knowledge in terms of where there is unattended needs and what kind of treatment or support is the most effective for who and in what circumstances.

Treatment services for England, Scotland, and Wales should provide appropriate combinations of a wide range of options that meet specified needs.

This includes the following:

Access to nationwide helplines
Individual treatment
Group treatment and support
Online treatment and support
Home treatment
Peer support
Support for other people This charity has received most of the funds from industrial donations that are provided as a condition for providing funds to support research, prevention, and treatment. It is opaque because the amount of spontaneous donation and the recipient have not been identified. This agreement is often called "voluntary arrangements."

Primary care and other NHS services diagnose and treat people who are associated with gambling, such as alcohol dependence and mental illness.

Regulation and oversight

Purpose

The national strategy to reduce gambling damage was launched in April 2019 and was implemented until April 2022. The content and behavior of this page refer to the activity program to reduce gambling damage during this period.

There is also a gap in knowledge in terms of where there is unattended needs and what kind of treatment or support is the most effective for who and in what circumstances.

Treatment services for England, Scotland, and Wales should provide appropriate combinations of a wide range of options that meet specified needs.

This includes the following:

Access to nationwide helplines

Individual treatment

Group treatment and support

Working in partnership

Online treatment and support

Home treatment

Partnership actions

To work with and support regulators and other bodies

Peer support

Support for other people

In addition, it is necessary to further understand the effectiveness of various treatment methods for patients with gambling and gambling addiction, and identify which treatment methods and support options are the most suitable for groups. There is.

To support effective local regulation

In addition, in order to identify the barriers of treatment and support, such as stigma (branded) that accompanies gambling addiction, and how to overcome such barriers, people who cannot receive treatment or support are needed. There is. This will provide and support information on future activities promoted by others to expand the scope of treatment and ensure lon g-term sustainability.

The Gambling Committee has made a survey program so that it can evaluate the needs of treatments and treatments currently outsourced in England, Scotland, and Wales, and to narrow down the treatment options to the highest needs. Leads and promises to support.

Gambling Commission actions

In this evaluation, we will look at people who are not treated and understand how they can deal with their needs.

All links to the external tissue on this page open on a new tab.

We support the fact that the British government and public health agencies are actively working to understand the essence of gambling together with other addiction and understand the essence and effects of gambling harm.

We welcome NHS England promises to expand the treatment. Achieving the results of NHS mental health and welbying, developing new partnerships, strengthening existing partnerships, creating and maintaining effective transitions between mental health services and gambling treatment or care. It is necessary to continue wider work to reduce the health gap.

Such a strategic partnership should aim to incorporate evaluation, supervision, and treatment tests in the same way as other medical and social care departments. In particular, there are important lessons from other fields about how to participate in experienced experts to design and provide services.

The British government has instructed NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to review the treatment guidelines of England and Wales), which is very important in providing information on future treatment and support. Yes, the cooperation system is the key to establishing it as the guidelines are progressing.

Clinical guidelines, together with effective standards, will allow for the inspection of treatment services. Appropriate inspection pathways, such as those provided by the Care Quality Commission in England, Healthcare Improvement Scotland and Healthcare Inspectorate Wales for other treatment services, need to be identified.

Primary care professionals may know little about the impact of gambling harm on mental health, so education and training of healthcare professionals will play a key role in raising awareness of gambling harm when assessing people with anxiety and other mental health and addiction disorders.

Collaboration

Purpose

The national strategy to reduce gambling damage was launched in April 2019 and was implemented until April 2022. The content and behavior of this page refer to the activity program to reduce gambling damage during this period.

Professional bodies are in a position to shape the public health response by raising awareness of gambling harm and educating the workforce.

Examples include:

The School of Public Health

Royal Society of Public Health

Royal College of General Practitioners

Royal College of Psychiatrists

Royal College of Nursing
The National Harm Reduction Strategy for Gambling was launched in April 2019 and runs until April 2022. The content and actions on this page refer to the programme of activities to reduce gambling harm during this period.
Responsible bodies such as regulators and bodies that oversee and inspect treatment services have a key role in shaping the progress of the overall strategy.
Regulation and oversight strengthen the public health approach by making the most of growing evidence through research and evaluation, facilitating the sharing of good practice and enabling widespread adoption using existing regulatory frameworks.
The Gambling Commission has a statutory mandate to protect children and vulnerable people and is committed to preventing harm to consumers and the public from gambling.
We apply a range of regulatory tools and instruments to make gambling safer, including product, venue and provider requirements and restrictions from the start of the customer journey.
As described in the committee's corporate strategy, "Make gambling more fair and safe", the committee as a national regulatory organization is important in making gambling safer and reducing gambling harm. It plays a role. However, regulating and supervising activities to reduce the harm of gambling is not only the authority of the Gambling Committee.
The scope of gambling facilities is a wide range of regulations, from c o-regulation with licensed authorities to cooperating with regulatory authorities in other countries in other fields such as advertising and financial services.

Working in partnership

Regulatory authorities have various ways to promote the recruitment of best practices, such as provision based on harmful evidence and suspension of customs. Other stakeholders are also interested in reducing gambling harm, and the effects of regulatory authorities and other public institutions to utilize regulations and standards to reduce gambling harm. A partnership is indispensable.

Regulatory authorities and other public institutions evaluate, understand, and evaluate existing practices, find evidence of what is effective and not effective, and prevent harmful practices. It has a role to take measures to do.

Partnership actions

Regulatory authorities such as advertising standards (open on new tabs) and competitive market (open on new tabs) to prevent unfair practices and inappropriate advertisements that increase the risk of harmful consumers It has a continuous role.

As the treatment service system develops and expands, the role of supervision and inspection will become more and more important.

The European Commission will continue to cooperate with these regulatory authorities and build further cooperation with many other organizations.

Gambling Commission actions

Authorized authorities have the role of joint regulation. The European Commission will continue to support the important activities of licensed authorities in conducting effective inspections and execution systems for facilities so that businesses can ensure that they can protect youth and social vulnerable.

This task includes the formulation of a licensing policy statement and aggressive implementation on how licensing authorities perform the function. These statements can reflect the concerns about local gambling and show clear expectations for local gambling carriers to protect consumers and the general public widely. The Committee as a national regulatory organization, as described in the committee's corporate strategy, "Make gambling a more fair and safe thing", reduces gambling and reduces gambling harm. It plays an important role above. However, regulating and supervising activities to reduce the harm of gambling is not only the authority of the Gambling Committee.

To support evaluation across all partners

This strategy forms the basics of more secure priority to the Gambling Committee. We have improved the compliance standards shown through our guarantee statement process and continuous compliance activities, including gambling carriers, including evidence of continuous tests and evaluation of more secure gambling activities. We hope to support the strategy and prove whether it is implementing it.

Longer term evaluation needs

As stipulated in the 2018-21 strategy of the European Commission, we will continue to support consumers who need to prevent gambling damage and control or control gambling. We will evaluate the protection and ask the business operator to improve.

Gambling Commission actions

We hope that the framework under development to measure the harm associated with gambling will tell you where the goal of preventive measures should be set, while progress is continued. We will do our utmost to other actions to achieve.

This includes testing preventive intervention in an actual environment as part of the research program. It also includes aggressive and safe gambling messages to consumers, products and games design, and industrial intervention measures such as the use and promotion of safe gambling tools.

If there is a clear evidence of what is valid to reduce the risk of harmful harm by gambling, the European Commission expects a wide range of businesses and provides appropriate consumer protection. Use the means.

If you are concerned about practices that can cause harm, you may be adopted an aggressive approach to limit such practices. If there is a convincing evidence that can not be alleviated for practices that are known to be harmful, take measures to limit or prevent the practice to reduce harm.

Research to inform action

Purpose

The national strategy to reduce gambling damage was launched in April 2019 and was implemented until April 2022. The content and behavior of this page refer to the activity program to reduce gambling damage during this period.

We do not take sufficient measures to reduce the harm caused by gambling, as it has been proven by an increase in fines for regulation failures. , Continue to take responsibility for licensed holders who do not take lessons.

The strategy of reducing national harm for gambling was launched in April 2019 and implemented until April 2022. The content and behavior of this page refer to the activity program to reduce gambling harm during this period.

Businesses and other key organisations with a role in reducing gambling harm should continue to work with regulators to identify new ways to reduce gambling harm and to develop and improve existing practices.

Working together and sharing widely what works and what doesn't will have a greater impact than isolated efforts.

The gambling industry is increasingly collaborating in its efforts to promote safer gambling, and even greater success can be achieved if this collaboration is actively targeted, directed and supported by the industry's regulator, the Gambling Commission.
Efforts to deliver results from this strategy are by no means exclusive to the gambling industry, but require the collaboration of all businesses and partners involved in reducing gambling harm.
These organisations could include national and local health and social care organisations, referral agencies, service providers of prevention and treatment programmes and third sector organisations, all of whom are committed to making real progress.

Groups involved in the partnership

Government ministries responsible for gambling, health and education

Public health organisations

The research community, including individual academics, research centres and charities

Working in partnership

Companies including gaming, finance, advertising and technology

Partnership actions

National, local and international regulators (applying advice from the Advisory Panel for Safer Gambling)

Consumer service users and life experience

Consider the use of one or more national research centres

Third sector education and support charities, including GambleAware, Citizens Advice and other advisory services.

Gambling Commission actions

Businesses that actively innovate and collaborate to reduce gambling harm should be recognised and good practice shared for wider adoption.

The importance of collaboration does not just apply to gambling operators. Other key organisations also have a role to play in innovating and identifying ways to support people experiencing gambling-related harm.

In financial services, operators should continue to work together to develop and provide tools and controls to help customers manage the amount they spend on gambling, and to seek to understand and support vulnerable consumers at increased risk of harm.

The Gambling Committee and approval authorities cooperate through joint regulations on gambling facilities, and builds an existing gambling tool kit using evidenc e-based approaches, utilizing the knowledge and evidence obtained through developed public health models. do. It also supports the impact of the public health plan.

Companies, service providers, charitable organizations, and local health partnerships need to provide better guidance and routes for various treatments and support options. This includes training and human resource development to identify signs of harm, to identify support and the appropriate route of treatment that meet the needs of the individual.

The Gambling Committee supports companies innovation and cooperating so that activities have a greater impact on priority defined priority.

For gambling operators and for gambling operators, to work on prevention, education, treatment, and support, create clear information on responsible products and games, gambling risks and product behavior, and provide customers. It starts with.

In order to encourage more secure gambling, it improves early consumer protection, promotes the use of gambling management tools as a measure to prevent harm, and people who need to stop gambling can receive appropriate tools and support. It means developing support mechanisms such as exclusion options and referral processes.

In the annual business plan, the committee clearly stipulates the priority areas that businesses need to focus on to improve their standards through the relationship with businesses and industry organizations.

In addition, we will continue to promote cooperation to identify what works and what's going well, share lessons learned, examine new innovative methods to identify and share best practices, and make progress. Accelerate.

Research programme

We have a clear purpose of cooperation, and to understand and develop intervention measures and practice to reduce the harm of gambling, and have a clear purpose, include tests and evaluations, to practice more safely gambling. We hope to share more widely discoveries and results so that it will be useful.

Measuring gambling-related harm

A wel l-designed and wel l-created evaluation forms an important part of the evidenc e-based control for adopting measures that have been proven to reduce gambling harm.

Excellent evaluation includes not only the process but also on people and actions. In order to achieve the overall purpose of the strategy, interventions and activities give how people gamble, how to do harm, and how they react to prevention, support and intervening. You need a deeper understanding of the impact. This means that it is necessary to incorporate the evaluation from the beginning of intervention and projects.

The main principles of the excellent evaluation shown in the existing protocols are as follows:

Appropriate evaluation creates powerful evidence. This includes the use of quantitative and qualitative data, and to incorporate the voices of consumers and users.

Gambling-related suicide

The evaluation should be in line with the risk of intervention and the scale of the intervention. Therefore, the scale should be considered first and documented.

Independent evaluation is considered to be more objective, solid, and reliable, but not always suitable for all intervention measures.

Outputs

The evaluation should be opened as much as possible for the basis and details of the intervention, the evaluation process, and the resulting conclusions. By ensuring transparency, you can enhance trust and trust and think about how stakeholders can use the lessons.

Evaluation has begun to be evaluated as part of the European Commission's independent survey program to understand the effectiveness of activities aimed at reducing the risk of gambling addiction and the effectiveness of activities aimed at collaborating with partners.

For example, evaluating the impact of reducing customer friction to encourage online gambling restrictions, testing a more secure gambling message on bingo facilities, and the effectiveness of multifunctional sel f-exclusion systems. There are work to evaluate.
The evaluation is not limited to the gambling industry. It is important to find what is valid for more widespread prevention programs, treatment and support options.
Whether this strategy will succeed, all stakeholders will determine the priority of the activity and to determine the appropriate combination of intervention measures and options to reduce gambling harm, how to evaluate it. It depends on how you use it.

Children and young people

Excellent evaluation enables and gives authority, based on evidence of what is valid and what is not valid. A wel l-designed and wel l-created evaluation forms an important part of evidenc e-based for adopting measures that have been proven to reduce gambling harm.

Excellent evaluation enables and gives authority, based on evidence of what is valid and what is not valid.

In the long term, people involved in the implementation of strategies can benefit from a more cooperative approach to the evaluation. Options for priority and adjustment of evaluation are examined during the strategy survival period, including ownership and implementation.

Research projects

We will revise and revise the RGSB 2016 evaluation protocol (PDF) in cooperation with various stakeholders who provide interventions to reduce harm, including evaluated experts and gambling operators.

Protocols and existing practical tools and advice with additional or updated practical tools and advice in order to raise the standards of evaluation at the individual business level and start incorporating proportional evaluations at the start of the current practice and the start of new practice. It may be appropriate to add guidance.

Basically, we want to understand what's going on, so that we can match our expectations and our expectations.

What works in industry-based harm-minimisation

It is important that new measures and programs are properly evaluated. In the Gambling Committee, this includes monitoring the major new policy initiatives and the progress of regulation changes, and measuring the progress of strategies from the beginning. We will support and encourage other institutions to do the same.

The national strategy to reduce gambling was launched in April 2019 and was implemented until April 2022. The content and behavior of this page refer to activity programs to reduce gambling loss during this period.

In order to reduce the damage caused by gambling, it is necessary to make the relationship between research and policy stronger, and support it is a research topic that gives information and gains information from actions, and a wide range of organizations. And researchers are involved and provide appropriate research infrastructure.

Historically, barriers to research were practical considerations on access to sufficient and consistent data on customer gambling activities, and ethical concerns about research funding sources.

Therefore, this strategy gives priority to the establishment of a centralized data lipodist, so that anonymized datasets can be accessed for research.

However, we need to encourage the use of evidence in policy-making. The Commission will be supported and challenged in doing so by its independent advisers, the Safer Gambling Advisory Board.

An independent research hub would ensure that the evidence base for policy continues to grow, leading to more effective action. It would also help to inform future research needs.

The interim step of the Commission sharing evidence within its independent research programme is crucial, as is working with partners to develop a more long-term approach within the hub.

Outputs from this research

The Gambling Commission’s research programme is only part of the new picture of research into tackling problem gambling. It is important that research dissemination allows policymakers to take into account proper accounting of research being conducted or planned by public health agencies in England, Wales and Scotland. This will also support the work of these partners to further develop a collaborative approach to research across the public sector.

Over time, the body of research to inform and be informed by the strategy will develop, building a more comprehensive evidence base to influence policy. An independent research hub to collate and disseminate research and evaluate its impact on policy will strengthen this link between research and action.
This could include all relevant research relevant to gambling harm reduction, including part of the European Commission's independent research programme, public health research, international research, research conducted by charities, treatment providers, experienced experts and the gambling industry.
In the longer term, it will be important to assess the viability of a hub independently coordinated by experts.
As the strategy evolves, a clearer picture should emerge about building a research infrastructure to support and promote high-quality research, and the role of a national research centre within this infrastructure will also be considered.
The independent research program of the Gambling Committee has been designed to separate the priority of research and provide funds to research and support the strategy implementation.
In order to keep providing what is effective to reduce gambling harm, research programs adapt and respond as we learn more.
We cooperate with your partner to create an anonymized data central repository and use it for research.

Evaluation of GambleAware funded treatment system

To support the foundation of the data storage office, the Gambling Standard Research Program will test a process to identify what data should be collected from online gambling.

This early stage for the creation of a data lipjitri is in parallel with the results of the current scoping, how to implement further stages and what kind of governance system is needed. Can proceed.

As a first step towards the research hub, the strategic microsite hosts major research, and projects provided under the Gambling Committee's research programs include research summary, published reports, and major. It is a base for evaluation of policy impact.
In the first year of the strategy, the committee will lead the work to further establish the "Gamblin g-related damage measurement framework" (PDF) announced in July 2018 through research programs. This framework will help you to deepen your clear understanding of the hidden harm of gambling in resources, health, and human relationships.
We are particularly focused on harm projects to inform where the goals of precautionary measures should be set, but we are also working on other actions to make progress. This includes testing preventive driving intervention in an actual environment as part of the research program.

If it is based on the industry, such as more aggressive gambling messages to consumers, designs and games, the use and promotion of more secure gambling tools, the European Commission will apply regulations. We can cooperate with people who have actually gambling about the best way to achieve these goals.
