This scheme is funded by the European Social Fund. It aims to raise awareness of crime prevention and community safety issues for pupils in year 9 through to year 13, in the comprehensive and special schools of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Each week the schools work on a project of their choice with their respective Schools Project Officer.

Each September the pupils have the opportunity to participate in a team building and activity weekend at an outdoor pursuit centre. This year the pupils attended Boreatton Park, Shroppshire from Friday 21st, September 2007 to Monday 24th, September 2007. In total, 80 children attended. During this weekend the young people embarked on a number of activities including Initiative Exercises and Challenge Courses.

Next years presentation evenings are to be held at The Cwmaman Institute for Cynon Valley schools, Llwynypia College for Rhondda schools and The Muni, Pontypridd for Taf Ely schools.
Participants are also able to gain OCN accreditation for their involvement in the PUPIL scheme.
