Citizens Advice Wirral rolls out gambling support service that aims to tackle problems early
Citizens Advice Wirral has rolled out a new service that will help frontline staff and volunteers spot the signs of gambling-related harm early.
The Gambling Support Service, which takes a public health approach to the problem, will be 1 of 10 services across the country funded by a £1.5 million, 2-year partnership with GambleAware.
A dedicated trainer will teach frontline staff from a range of organisations to identify anyone at risk of gambling-related harm and support them with the knock-on effects it can have, such as debt, work and housing problems.
