As awareness of gambling harms grows, guidelines for respectful reporting are increasingly necessary for public stakeholders with public platforms. Complementing existing guidelines, this project aimed to engage with people with lived experience of gambling harms to co-produce accessible, practical recommendations to foster respectful dialogue and reshape public discourse around gambling harms. Between January and February 2024, four online workshops were conducted with 22 participants (13 men, 9 women) with experience of gambling harms. Participants provided input on poor reporting practices and their impact, improvements to language, and analyses of media articles and headlines. Discussions with journalists (n = 3), civil servants (n = 6), and academics (n = 5) helped refine emerging findings and draft guidelines. The co-produced guidelines emphasize adopting person-centered, non-stigmatizing language informed by lived experience. Drawing on health and social care best practices, they aim to support more respectful communication and have seen early uptake among key stakeholder groups. They represent consensus-based recommendations rather than empirically validated communication standards. These co-produced guidelines advocate a shift in how gambling harms are discussed in public, media, and institutional settings. By promoting person-centered communication grounded in structural awareness, they provide a practical resource for stakeholders seeking to improve communication about gambling harms.
