 "Most alternative provision is delivered through Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), AP  academies, registered independent schools and general hospital schools, all of which  are regulated as schools. However, some alternative provision education is delivered in  unregistered settings which fall outside any existing designation as a “school”. These  include a wide range of providers, from dedicated tutoring companies and online  providers to bespoke vocational training and therapeutic support. This provision,  commonly known as unregistered alternative provision, is highly valued by some  commissioners. When used under the right circumstances it can potentially offer a  crucial ‘hook’ back into learning for children and young people with complex needs who  require bespoke packages of education, training, and support."
