Summary

This report by Chrysalis Research evaluates EPIC Risk Management's project to minimise gambling-related harm in the criminal justice system, funded by GambleAware.

Topics covered

  • project implementation and delivery
  • outcomes and impact for participants
  • organisational and systemic changes
  • evidence gathering and evaluation approaches

Key findings

The project delivered training to over 1,000 people across multiple prisons and probation services, with sessions generally well-received. Some positive outcomes were achieved for prisoners accessing support.
However, lack of clear objectives, limited data collection, and insufficient focus on strategic work reduced the project's potential impact and sustainability.
