The MET Police Central Youth Team, are currently running a project, offering FREE and online, parent/ carer engagement webinars in partnership with YGAM Org. The sessions will give advice to parents/ carers, on preventing gaming and gambling harms among young people.
Ygam are a national charity with a mission to prevent children and young people from experiencing gaming and gambling harms through awareness raising education and research. In partnership with the Metropolitan Police, Ygam is offering free online awareness sessions for parents across Greater London to help increase understanding of the risks associated with gaming and gambling.
Following research with organisations, parents and children, we have developed an awareness session providing parents and carers with information around gaming, gambling and the blurred lines between the two.
For details on the topics covered and how to register, please refer to this flyer.
In the meantime, feel free to visit Ygam’s Parents Hub which is designed to provide parents with the knowledge and resources to safeguard their families.
The session for the East London boroughs (Havering, Barking & Dagenham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest, Newham, Hackney and Tower Hamlets) will take place on Tuesday 13th May, 7pm – 8.15pm.
