YGAM has partnered with the local Eyes and Ears Community Safety programme with the aim of supporting teachers to raise awareness of gaming/gambling related harm. As a result, East Cambridgeshire’s Community Safety Partnership, Cambridgeshire Police Children and Young People’s Team and Cambridge United Community Trust have worked in collaboration to produce two bespoke teaching modules for KS2 and KS3 pupils which should provide a useful starting point for exploring the themes of gaming and gambling.
