New National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Related Harms

The Gambling Commission has published the new National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Related Harms. This three-year strategy aims to drive and coordinate work to bring a lasting impact on reducing gambling harms. No doubt this will prove to be a major focus of discussion at our Player Protection event in May.

Our chair for the Player Protection Forum, David Clifton, has published some invaluable insights into the new national strategy on the Clifton Davies Consultancy Limited website.

The Gambling Commission has also launched a new website – www.reducinggamblingharms.org – where all information on the priorities identified in the new strategy can be accessed and progress tracked. The website carries the headline message:

“The sole aim of this three-year National Strategy is to move faster and go further to reduce gambling harms. A wide range of partners will need to play their part.”
