Alternatives to Detention (ATD)
ATD is a critical tool to reduce the use of immigration detention. IDC focuses on the realisation of rights in ATD policy and practice. IDC’s Community Assessment and Placement (CAP) Model serves as a baseline framework for identifying and developing rights-based ATD.

We believe that organisations at a local, national and regional levels have the best knowledge and understanding of the challenges being faced on the ground. That’s why we work with a network of members who make our collaborative work possible.
