The purpose of the training is to teach staff ways of safeguarding the young people they work with, and care for and provide them with the necessary tools and information they need in their fight against gaming and gambling-related harm.
Head of Delivery at YGam, Sam Starsmore, said: “Working with the teams at Wolves has been fantastic. Raising awareness and delivering education on the potential harms associated with gambling is something that Wolves have been fully supportive of.
"Our work together will continue so we can appropriately armour young people with the knowledge for them to make more informed choices.”
Lisa Carter, Head of Safeguarding at Wolves, explained: “YGam have delivered training to our staff several times and the feedback is always extremely positive. It’s such an emotive subject but part of everyday life for many children, young people and adults.”
YGam also provides free awareness workshops for both parents and foster carers on topics that include gaming and gambling. These workshops combined with the Parent HUB empower parents with the knowledge and understanding they need to better safeguard their children.
Recently, Lee Willows, YGam Founder and Chief Executive, left the charity.
