EPIC Risk Management are working with schools and their students to raise awareness and prevent gambling related harm amongst young people. This includes visits to 100 schools, twice each, over a two-year period 2019-2021 in the UK and potentially Ireland. In the previous academic year, EPIC have reached over 33,000 young people. This two-year period will allow for a robust anonymised data capture and in turn this will enable EPIC to work with the University Campus of Football Business to identify trends over a two-year period.
