The European Alternatives to Detention Network (EATDN) is a group of NGOs that aims to end immigration detention in Europe. Established in 2017, it brings together civil society organisations implementing case management-based ATD (alternatives to detention) pilots in seven European countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Poland and the UK) in partnership with regional-level and international organisations. The network – which is coordinated by the International Detention Coalition – aims to create a shift at a systemic level from enforcement-based migration management systems that rely on detention, to promoting community-based alternatives. Ultimately, the goal of the EATDN is to reduce and eventually end the use of immigration detention. The EATDN works towards this by building evidence and momentum on rights-based approaches which are based on the principles of case management in the community, in order to demonstrate how migration management without detention can be effective. Network members implement and test case management-based approaches aimed at supporting individuals in an irregular situation to work towards a durable solution while living in the community. They also provide non-coercive, non-enforcement based ATD to support people who would or could otherwise be detained, and promote the further expansion of this model over enforcement-based ATD. The pilots are all carried out in line with the principles of the Community Assessment and Placement (CAP) model, employing case managers to work with individuals at risk of detention in order to ensure that their holistic needs are being met.
