About The Webinar
Realising, Recognising and Responding to Gaming Disorder | Secondary
This webinar will provide designated safeguarding leads, senior leaders and teachers with guidance and advice on recognising the positive and negative impact that gaming can have on children and young people, including ways to promote a responsible, safe and healthy relationship with playing online.
It’s important to recognise that gaming for many children can provide an escape and lead to a number of positive outcomes. Nonetheless, research has shown that, due to its addictive nature, gaming can quickly take over some children’s lives and impact how they think, behave, sleep, interact with others and ultimately exhibit those characteristics often associated with gaming disorder.
In this webinar, Dr Amanda Giordano, associate professor, award-winning counsellor and specialist in addiction counselling, explores the benefits and harms of gaming, why some children may exhibit addictive behaviour and how we can set them up to become independent, resilient players with a robust awareness of the environment around them.
