3. Open-access youth providers: Involving centre-based and detached youth work.
4. Tuition companies and tutors: Supporting mainstream or home education.
5. Language schools: Catering to children from abroad.
6. Religious settings: Providing education in faith, culture, or religious texts.
7. Uniformed youth organisations: Such as Scouts and Guides.
