To further reinforce positive engagement, we will have an incentive scheme. Young people will work towards their weekly targets, including education, employment, training, completion of chores, returning home before curfew, and maintaining positive behaviour. If they achieve these targets, then we will fund a group activity, e.g. a film night, a nails night, or bowling. This will be chosen by the young people, further fostering a sense of community.

Young people who do not participate are not included, providing a deterrent. If this approach does not work, we will liaise with the young person’s social worker to identify potential financial sanctions
