Advice for young people (Upbeat)

Cheshire Police has re-launched its Upbeat website aimed at young people in Cheshire.

The website has been designed to give advice and information to people aged between 16 and 20. The website discusses information that is relevant to these ages and has been written by a young person to convey these messages effectively.

The website gives young people in Cheshire a variety of information including; looking after yourself on a night out, what you need to do when you′re learning to drive and many more. The website aims to prevent people from becoming victims of crime, how to stay safe and not become an offender themselves.

In the future Cheshire Police are hoping to allow the young people of Cheshire to get involved more and more in the Upbeat website by offering interactive polls and blogs.

As well as having advice and information for people aged 16-20, we’re also developing two other strands of Upbeat aimed at 11-15 year olds and 4-10 year olds.

These two other websites are still under construction and will hopefully be online before the end of the year.

Upbeat also has a twitter account where young people can see news articles and appeals that are relevant to them. To become a follower of the Upbeat twitter account follow @upbeatcheshire.
