[cma-l] Youth Broadcasts

[Two Lochs Radio]

We have several hours a week produced and presented by young people ranging generally from 10 years upwards.

Several of these (generally 13 yrs and up) create and present their programmes independently just as adults do, and do not need the support of an adult in producion terms. Some do it as part of their DofE Award service components, others as part of schemes organized informally with local primary schools, and others just as individuals. 

However, we never permit under 18s to be in the station alone - there must always be a 'responsible adult' present, but the adult is often there purely for health, safety and security reasons and not taking part in the production.

  Hi all


  Out of (academic) interest how many community radio stations only work with young people (under 18s) when there is staff present to support? This might be facilitating a programme or training. And, if not, how many have young broadcasters who create and broadcast just as adults do.


  I find this interesting because, during some research, I've found both kinds. which is more common?


  Cheers all
  Ben
