Alternative provision includes education other than at school, education at an independent school or at a pupil referral unit.

Schedule 1 sets out the items of individual information to be supplied.\nRegulation 6 allows the Welsh Ministers to require a relevant local authority, which has received information about individual children pursuant to these Regulations, to pass such information to the Careers Wales companies. Regulation 7 sets out the persons (in addition to information collators) to whom the Welsh Ministers may supply information about individual children. Regulation 8 sets out the persons (in addition to the Welsh Ministers, other information collators and the providers of the alternative provision) to whom an information collator may supply individual information.\nRegulation 9 makes provision about the report a teacher in charge of a pupil referral unit and a proprietor of an independent school is required to send each school year to parents of children receiving alternative provision.
