4. Gambling Commission research update and forward look

ABSG welcomed members of the Gambling Commission’s Research and Statistics team for an early scoping discussion on the Commission’s three-year research plan. The team set the context for the Commission’s research work based on the Business Plan. ABSG were asked to give their views on three key questions:

  • what are the key things from your wider experience and perspectives that the Commission should be considering when developing the research plan?
  • what is happening outside of gambling that the Commission should be bringing in? (that is methodologies, wider thinking)
  • are there any other people or bodies that are doing similar things that we could speak to or learn from?

A wide ranging discussion followed, drawing on members experience.
