As part of Gamble Aware Week (18-23 July), Manchester City Council’s Licensing Unit are hosting two training and briefing sessions which may prove useful for some agencies and members of the wider safeguarding workforce and voluntary sector. 
The sessions will include:
• how to spot the early signs of somebody experiencing or at risk of experiencing problematic gambling
• understanding national and local treatment provision, and
• how to guide someone towards the right support
They will be delivered by Neil Platt from Beacon Counselling Trust, who are commissioned by Gamcare to deliver problem gambling treatment in Manchester and throughout the North West.
The sessions will take place in Committee Room 4, Manchester Town Hall, Albert Square, M2 5DB on:
18 July 2016, 1pm - 4pm
20 July 2016, 10am - 1pm
The sessions are open to the general public as well as being attended by staff from betting shops and other gambling premises.
