A fully funded City & Guilds assured training for youth workers, teachers and voluntary sector employees and volunteers.

About the session

As a youth worker, teacher or member of a VCFSE organisation, we see close up how deeply gaming and the digital world are shaping young people’s lives. For many, it's a positive experience - fostering creativity, problem-solving and social connection. But it also brings evolving risks that often exist out of adult sight.

Join Ygam for our CPD training, where you will learn:

  • Why children and young people might game/gamble
  • What is meant by gaming/gambling related harm
  • Where to find further support
  • Have increased confidence when talking to CYP about gaming and gambling

Who is it for?

This session is suitable for staff and volunteers aged 18+ who work with and support children and young people.
