Description

We currently collect data annually on 11-17 year olds via the Young People and Gambling Survey. This research enables us to collect and publish official statistics on gambling-related behaviours and experiences, and the prevalence of problem gambling, amongst 11-17 year olds in Great Britain.

We are seeking competitive tenders to undertake qualitative research with 11-17 year olds to build on and contextualise the findings from the Young People and Gambling Surveys and strengthen the evidence base. 

This will complement our ongoing collection of core data on overall rates of gambling participation and prevalence of problem gambling among 11-17 year olds.

The aim of this work is to build on and add context to the Young People and Gambling Survey findings to further develop our understanding of how young people are introduced to gambling products and activities that are new to them. 

We also need to better understand the impact of these activities on young people, especially where it might be associated with risky or harmful gambling, which could be extremely impactful for strengthening harm-reduction measures for young people, or for targeting educational activities.

We want the research to 'tell the story' of young people's experiences of gambling and the impacts it can have. However, it is important to consider that gambling can be a sensitive topic and we want young people to be as open and honest as possible without worrying that they may get into trouble for doing something their parents don't approve of or that could potentially be illegal.

Improving democratic education framework

The Electoral Commission and democratic education The Electoral Commission is the independent public body which oversees elections and regulates political finance in the UK. We work to promote public confidence in the democratic process and ensure its integrity. The Voter Education and Partnership team provides engaging, accurate and impartial information about democracy, elections and voting so that eligible and future voters can cast their votes confidently. Our education work aims to promote greater consistency in democratic education, increase young people's knowledge and understanding of democracy and elections, and increase educators' understanding of and confidence to deliver this topic. Our recent research report, Young Voices on Democracy, highlighted that young people don't currently have the knowledge they need to be confident about politics and voting. Less than a third know a lot about what the UK government does, and only half of those yet to vote feel confident about the process. There is a clear need for more democratic education in schools and colleges to support young people to become informed, engaged voters: only a third of school age children said they learnt about politics at school in the last year, yet almost three quarters told us they wanted more opportunities to do so. We are currently focusing on the following initiatives to help us achieve our aims: • Youth Voice Network: our youth engagement network is made up of 60 young people in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This group of young people feed into our education work and develop resources to support their peers to learn about democracy. • Education resources: we have developed resources - including a scheme of work for schools, and activities for youth groups - aimed at supporting young people across the UK to learn about democracy and elections • Welcome to Your Vote Week: every year we hold Welcome to Your Vote Week, which encourages young people and educators to engage in democratic education and to start the conversation about upcoming elections. We are now looking to work with civil society organisations to develop and evaluate projects that will increase democratic education in schools, colleges and youth settings.
