Presentation transcript:

Elements of effective alternatives to immigration detention Jem Stevens, International Detention Coalition Strasbourg, 4 April 2019  

International Detention Coalition The International Detention Coalition (IDC) is : A global network of over 400 civil society organisations and individuals in almost 90 countries working towards a world without unnecessary immigration detention.

Definition of alternatives The IDC defines alternatives to immigration detention as: Any law, policy or practice by which persons are not detained for reasons relating to their migration status.

Our research identified over 250 examples in 65 countries researched.

The most effective alternatives: Build trust and support migrants to engage in immigration processes, in particular through tailored case management.

Elements of successful alternatives Building blocks for effective ATD: The revised Community Assessment and Placement (CAP) model Elements of successful alternatives Using screening and assessment to tailor management and placement decisions Providing holistic case management focused on case resolution Focusing on early engagement Ensuring individuals are well-informed and trust they have been through a fair and timely process Ensuring fundamental rights are respected and basic needs are met Exploring all options to remain in the country legally and all avenues for voluntary or independent departure Ensuring any conditions imposed are not overly onerous

A wider range of alternatives in Europe Scope to develop a wider range of alternatives in Europe, with a focus on approaches which have an evidence base in effectiveness Opportunity to draw on growing guidance, practice and learning on engagement-based alternatives in the region

Growing practice and guidance on engagement-based ATD Council of Europe: Legal and Practical Aspects of Alternatives to Detention (2017) and draft Handbook on ATD implementation European Commission: Return Handbook (2017) UK – pilot project to support vulnerable women in the community, who would otherwise be at risk of detention (2018) Netherlands – agreement between national and city governments to pilot shelter and professional guidance to find durable solutions for people without the right to stay in the Netherlands (2018) Lithuania – community-based placement with case management for asylum seekers (2018) Increasing interest and involvement of stakeholders including municipalities and civil society organisations

Practical implementation, and qualitative and quantitative evaluation Set up in 2017, the European Alternatives to Detention (ATD) Network links NGOs running case management-based alternative to detention pilot projects in four European countries - Bulgaria, Cyprus, Poland and the UK- with the International Detention Coalition (IDC) and PICUM. The Network aims to: Collectively build evidence and act as a hub of learning on effective alternatives to detention. Practical implementation, and qualitative and quantitative evaluation To initiate discussions and collaboration between stakeholders to support further development of ATD. www.atdnetwork.org

Insights from case managers Cyprus Refugee Council – working since 2017 with people in detention and at risk of being detained including asylum seekers, refused asylum seekers, irregular third country nationals and people considered to be unremovable. Community Support Project (UK)- working since 2014 with young male ex-offenders with barriers to removal, to reduce the risk of absconding and reoffending and assist them to meet the conditions of their release and avoid long-term detention.

Opportunities for developing effective alternatives to detention Opportunities to develop pilot projects providing case management to a defined categories of migrants, to test models tailored to the specific national context. Through qualitative and quantitative evaluation, adjust approaches to improve effectiveness. Collaboration between a range of stakeholders, including national and local governments and civil society around shared objectives can strengthen alternatives. European funding opportunities e.g. ERRIN and AMF.
