Lets talk about games: she plays he says

Following a discussion internally within a gaming group, one of our student managers informed her colleagues of her experiences as a female when gaming.  On further research it became clear this was not a one-off situation and many female gamers experience negative and unacceptable behaviours during online gaming.

YGAM Parents decided to explore this area in more detail, speaking with female gamers, parents and professionals to gain a greater understanding and more importantly highlight the issue to parents to enable them to educate and safeguard their children.

To educate parents and raise awareness on this subject we have the following information:

• Our report into our research on this topic, along with the recommendations we have presented to parliament
• Blog from our Head of Parental EngagementeadH
• Support and tips for parents to educate and safeguard their children.
