• undertake an up to date local area profile in relation to gambling related harms
• set out expectations of local gambling operators and risk assessment processes
• undertake compliance visits and use enforcement tools appropriately
• undertake underage sales testing
• encourage local gambling businesses to apply for Gamcare certification for best in class player protection policies and undertake the Gamcare training courses
