November 2020

From September 2020, all schools in England are required to deliver the PSHE curriculum. The PSHE Association have worked with GambleAware to develop a comprehensive set of curriculum support materials for teachers to help deliver the gambling harm elements now included in that curriculum. In this year’s young people's gambling report, nearly a quarter (24%) of 11-16 yos said that a teacher had spoken to them about potential problems that gambling can lead to - we expect to see that increase year on year.
