MWH Admin TeamEvent, News

The Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm programme is a Scotland-wide programme to put the voice of people affected by gambling harms at the heart of action to reduce those harms.

The ALLIANCE is leading a national partnership programme over the next three years to accelerate the National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms, a strategy launched last April by the Gambling Commission. This programme, will put the voice of lived experience at the heart of the process.

 

Professor Anna Van der Gaag CBE, Chair of the Advisory Board for Safer Gambling (ABSG):

“It’s recognised that successful delivery of the National Strategy will require the collective efforts and engagement from a wide range of stakeholders including the third sector and, most importantly, people with lived experience of gambling harms. These gambling-related harms are increasingly recognised as a public health issue requiring robust collective action. It is also crucial that we begin to build an understanding about gambling harms in a public health context, develop programmes and approaches to reducing harms and raise collective awareness of the personal and societal costs that can arise from gambling activities.”
