Understanding Gambling Harm and Its Links to Crime
Over eight months in 2024, our lived-experience facilitators delivered the Criminal Justice System CPD Course to professionals across the UK including probation officers, public health practitioners, and police teams.
This training raises awareness of gambling-related harm and its connections to offending behaviour, equipping professionals to recognise signs, start conversations, and refer people to the right support.
Our latest publication, Impact and Outcomes Report 2024, highlights the results, feedback, and next steps for improving awareness and early intervention across the justice system.
