At North Tyneside we would not at this point consider banning games, partly
because they are a legitimate use of the system by young people, and also,
as you say, they bring young people in. However, we do increasingly have
problems with challenging behaviour, and are looking at various ways of
dealing with this, such as working with the youth service. I'd be
interested to hear if anyone has had success in dealing with the behaviour
while not removing access to gaming.
