A new research report into children’s radio, funded by The Voice of The
Listener, recommends that radio stations become more active in promoting the
idea and practice of children’s participatory radio.
The report, entitled 'Children Making Radio – 2004/5' by Cathy Aitchison,
suggests that skills and expertise should be shared through training and
networking events; linking broadcasters with educational and community
practitioners; sharing existing resources; and supporting educational and
community Restricted Service Licensees [RSLs] with personnel and resources.
The report notes that seven long-term and 25 short-term RSLs have been
organised by schools, with a further six short-term RSLs involving youth as
broadcasters so far this year.
Aitchison explained: “One of our main aims in carrying out the research was to
provide a clearer overall picture of the different approaches and resources
available to people who want to use radio with young people, but who perhaps
don't know how to begin.” The report and additional information can be
downloaded from the website www.childrenandradio.org.uk
[First published in 'The Radio Magazine' as 'Children Making Radio', #702, 21 September 2005]
