Gambling harm 2025 campaign launched
Surrey County Council’s Public Health team is running a campaign to raise awareness of gambling harm and how people can access help and support.
If you’re in a role where you work directly with clients and members of the public, there are things you can do to help reduce the negative effects of harmful gambling including:
- Ask clients/patients if gambling is affecting them (where appropriate to do so). These two questions have been tested with council staff and the public and shown to work well:
-
- Is your own gambling, or that of someone else, causing you any worries?
- Do you think you are affected by any gambling, either your own or someone else's?
- Signpost people to the range of free sources of gambling support and services
- Share/publicise Surrey’s gambling related harm campaign on social media
- Increase knowledge by attending free online training on gambling related harm:
