We had a great time @EGX running the @FamilyGamingDB Zone. 16000 parents and children came to play our 150 games over 4 days. So many lovely moments of families discovering games, talking about parental controls and playing together. Looking forward to next year and other events!

Of all the video game campaigns I've worked on, this #ParentPowerUps is my fav. Love how @1Judilove tells story of empowering parents, without finger-wagging & with expertise from Professor Tanya Byron. Do RT so families try the #PowerUpPact themselves: youtube.com/watch?v=TpdNxnfo…

Brilliant! @FamilyGamingDB accessiblity data now included in @NintendoLife reviews. Highlights not just options, but how well implemented they are. The partnership enables our consultants to cover more games. RT's appreciated for others wanting our API. taminggaming.com/Accessibili…

Love that Stray Gods has deeply considered accessibility. They did the @FamilyGamingDB accessibility questionnaire, which led directly to them doubling the largest size of their subtitles. Any other devs... would love to cover your game in our database. taminggaming.com/accessibili…

Taming Gaming (@TamingGamingDB) is another great resource that provides information for parents by game and game genre. If you're looking to learn something about a specific game, or looking to find a game that your family may enjoy together, this is the resource for you.

Our best kept secret. Gaming Pathways are interviews that get to the root of what gaming has brought to someone's life. For James, this was about nurturing his life's potential that unexpectedly helped him deal with a breakdown. taminggaming.com/en-gb/searc…

My #GAAD2023 wish is for journalists to pause before writing or saying "such an accessible game" and consider if they mean "approachable".

An introduction into the work of @askaboutgames and @TamingGamingDB - which has reminded me to look up a game I was asked about.
2 May 2023
📻The video games industry is committed to ensuring games can be enjoyed in a fun and safe way.
That's why @uk_ie is working with @askaboutgames.

What a great debate on @BBC5Live with @NickyAACampbell and some super guests bringing a wide range of views. Here's a little of my contribution. Would love to talk to any parents struggling, like Jack at the end of the show, as there are some simple game-changing tips.
