GVC brings in consultancy firm to aid responsible gambling drive

GVC is aiming to reduce gambling-related harm

The parent company of Ladbrokes and Coral has signed a multi-year agreement with a consultancy firm specialising in minimising gambling harm, which will include a gambling awareness and education programme for schoolchildren.

Epic Risk Management is set to advise GVC Holdings and deliver training to employees of the gambling giant.

GVC's support for Epic will result in it delivering courses to at least 12,000 children across 100 UK state schools over the next two years, aimed at helping them to make more informed decisions around gambling when they reach 18.
