Kate, We're just beginning to look at this. We do not have University accommondation, and don't have any maximum age limits for courses, which has simplified matters somewhat. As far as I understand the situation with regard to minimum age requirements, we need to decide whether to prepare an objective justification for not taking any student below 18 (which is our current advertised policy), or consider each application on an individual basis (which is what we currently do in practice). If we choose the latter route, we may run into some Child Protection issues. Has anyone else given thought to how to deal with the Child Protection implications of (potentially) having larger numbers of under 18 year old students studying at their institution?
