Suffolk police sets up scheme to reward teenagers' behaviour

1 min read Youth Justice Youth Work
Young people in Suffolk are to be rewarded by police for good behaviour in a new scheme.

The Green Card initiative launches on 20 March and will reward young people who have been active in their communities. Thought to be one of the most ambitious schemes of its kind, cards will be issued to young people who help tackle antisocial behaviour through activities such as litter picking and taking part in holiday projects.

The card holds the details of the young people and has space for 10 Let's Get a Life! stamps. Young people are given stamps as a reward for their achievements in the local community. Once all 10 stamp spaces are filled, the card gets entered in a monthly draw, where the young person can win up to £50 worth of vouchers donated by the Community Safety Partnership.
