Thousands of children are attending illegal schools where they get little or no teaching and are subjected to dangerous conditions such as open sewers and exposed wiring, a report has found.
The education watchdog warns that more than 200 unregistered establishments may be providing sub-standard teaching and care.
In some cases they are being unwittingly funded by councils.
The unregistered schools include those run for strict religious parents who do not want their children in mainstream education, and privately-run institutions which care for excluded children.
