This webinar is designed for educators, school leaders, and professionals in the education sector who play a crucial role in safeguarding young people. It will provide an in-depth exploration of the latest insights into the prevalence of young people and gambling, discuss the growing risks posed by online influences, and highlight the blurred lines between gaming and gambling.

The panel discussion will focus on the role of schools in prevention and early intervention.

Topics will include:
- The impact of advertising and social media
- How peer pressure can influence gambling behaviours
- The increasing presence of gambling-like mechanics in gaming, such as loot boxes and microtransactions.

Panellists will discuss how schools can integrate gambling harm awareness into PSHE and safeguarding policies, equipping teachers with the knowledge and confidence to address these issues.

The session will also provide practical strategies for embedding gambling harm prevention into the curriculum, supporting students who may be at risk, and working collaboratively with parents and external organisations to create a safer environment for young people.
