What is a gaming disorder?
In 2018, the World Health Organisation included gaming disorders in its International Classification of Diseases.
Those with the disorder are categorised as having impaired control over gaming, prioritise gaming over other activities, and continue to game despite the occurrence of negative consequences.
A gaming disorder can affect people of any age and children are at risk of developing symptoms if left unchecked.
To be considered an Internet Gaming Disease (IGD) the symptoms must be consistently prevalent for a period of at least 12 months, although this can be for less time if severe.
For more information on the associated risks and online safety tips for parents and carers, watch our explainer video, available to those with a National Online Safety membership.
This webinar will provide headteachers, designated safeguarding leads and all teaching staff with an in-depth understanding of the gaming world, what makes it so appealing and how it can be used for positive educational purposes.

Most children's introduction to the online world is via video-sharing platforms like YouTube, while social media begins to appeal as they approach their teenage years. While these platforms are undoubtedly entertaining and engaging, they can also be highly addictive and expose young people to a variety of other online risks. Our short video, presented by Myleene Klass, will quickly raise your awareness of online platforms and how children and young people use them.
