This report presents the findings of an annual survey to explore gambling behaviour among young people in Great Britain, based on a sample of 2,865 11-16 year olds who were surveyed between 5 February and 2 July 2018. The results found that 14 percent of 11-16 year olds had spent their own money on a gambling activity in the week prior to taking part in the study. This is two percentage points higher than in 2017, but lower than figures in 2011. The most common gambling activities were placing a private bet for money with friends, playing National Lottery scratchcards, fruit/slot machines in an arcade, pub or club and cards for money with friends. Over half of those surveyed agreed that gambling is dangerous and only 14 percent felt that it is okay for someone their age to gamble. (Edited publisher abstract)

It draws on qualitative interviews with 10 GPs and two Practice Managers and data extract from one GP surgery. It paints an overwhelmingly positive picture of the impact of Social Prescribing on GPs and patients, and highlights how the Service has quickly become a central component in a GPs options when treating the causes and consequences of long-term health conditions. Themes that emerged from GP interviews included: enabling GPs to take a holistic approach to health, developing GPs awareness of community-level support, reductions in GP workloads and reduction in medial prescribing. When GPs were asked how Social Prescribing benefitted patients, they referred to reductions in social isolation and loneliness; prevents family and carer breakdown; and providing person centred services. They also provided reflections on Rotherham Social Prescribing model, and what worked effectively. (Edited publisher abstract)

This research explores the specific needs of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) young carers. It draws on findings from existing research, interviews with BAME young carers and practitioners, and a survey of Barnardo's services to identify key issues faced by young carers from BAME communities in accessing support services. The research found that Young Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic children who care for ill or disabled relatives are more likely than other young carers to be isolated from support services. For example, BAME families often do not want agencies involved as there is a deep mistrust of social services or authorities; the concept of a young carer is unfamiliar to many BAME communities as helping your family and extended family is often expected; and there is stigma within many BAME communities in acknowledging mental health and disability issues and in seeking support. In addition, many young south Asian carers were often being relied upon as interpreters, which can lead to misdiagnosis and increased anxiety within families. The report makes recommendations to improve support for BAME young carers. (Edited publisher abstract)

This report presents the findings of an online survey for prospective adopters and adopters run between January and March 2017. The survey asked about prospective adopters and adopters’ views on adopting children in a sibling group, including experiences and perceptions about the challenges of adopting siblings, preparation and support in adopting siblings, the transition from care to the adoptive home and experiences of managing contact. The survey received a total of 414 responses, representing all English regions, along with respondents living in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Over half (80 out of 140) prospective adopters who responded to the survey and said that they were considering adopting children in a sibling group. Three quarters of these held the view that adopting children in a sibling group would be more challenging than adopting a single child. Of the 200 adopters who responded to the survey who had adopted children in a sibling group, 84 percent believed that adopting children in a sibling group was more challenging than adopting a single child.

This document summarises the key findings of a research study to explore; what consumers want, need, and expect from interactions with smart home equipment; assumptions and concerns about privacy and data; and potential policies and protections. The research found that: most consumers perceive the risks associated with smart home technology as outweighing the benefits, even though they may own some smart technology themselves; products that help consumers save money or increase security are more likely to be purchased; many consumers were unsure about smart technology, and this contributed to their scepticism; consumers don’t instinctively think about what data they’re sharing, but when they do consider it, they are concerned about the volume of data that is being collected; consumers are generally happy to share “lifestyle” data, but not data that is linked to their physical safety and security; many initially struggle to identify who is responsible in situations where something goes wrong, and often end up holding the manufacturer responsible; for redress, they expect a mix of technical fail-safes and interaction with humans; consumers expect some regulation (warranties, clear T&Cs) to protect them; some consumers believe individuals bear responsibility as well; consumers believe education on smart technology is needed to avoid problems occurring in the first place.
