Gambling policy for schools
Schools can develop their own gambling policy using the Be Ahead of the Game gambling policy template. The purpose of a school gambling policy is to:
- support a whole-of-school approach to raising awareness of the risks of gambling
- provide support to members of the school community experiencing harm, either from their own or someone else’s gambling.
