🎙️ Youth on @KICRadioUK discuss the growing issue of knife crime impacting youth in their communities.

This podcast explores the emotional, social, and psychological toll knife crime takes - not just on victims but on families, neighbourhoods, and future opportunities.

It also highlights the limitations of schools and youth centres in tackling knife crime, the influence of drill music, and how deterrents like harsher punishments or stricter ID checks could help reduce violence.

@stegregory35 @Rob_KICBOSS I disagree. 10 years ago, @JobCenterPlus said I was unemployable. I volunteered at KIC to prove my worth. Now I’m employed there, helping young people. KIC has a record of supporting, upskilling, and helping young people into work. Volunteering, done right, can be life-changing.

It's a sad day for local and regional radio stations.

Very few of them now exist which is why we bought back #KICfm as @KICRadioUK giving young people a local and regional platform.
