    Does anyone else have under 18s on their station and if so how do
    you go about managing them as minors? Do they broadcast live? Are
    they supervised? The reason I ask is we're looking to open our doors
    to under 18s on a more permanent basis.<br>

        present the main progression route after completing our
        workshops/course is being able to present on a regular youth-led
        show, however now I'm looking to increase the scope and cater to
        young people who want to get more involved more often.</div>
