To enrol and take courses in the Childhub Academy you need to be logged in to Childhub.

The course is based on the Council of Europe’s CDDH Analysis and Practical Guide on Alternatives to Immigration Detention. The e-learning course is composed of four modules that explore three key questions:

  1. Why use alternatives to immigration detention? What are the legal and practical basics?
  2. What possible types of alternatives can be implemented?
  3. How do we make alternatives effective in particular national contexts?

The course is addressed to all legal professionals (judges, prosecutors, lawyers or court staff) and justice professionals, but also can be used by other public authorities, university students or civil society organizations, and in general for anyone who wishes to learn more about the legal and practical aspects of this topic. 

Through interactive information, examples, scenarios, reflective exercises and presentations, the course examines key legal and practical terms and principles, the applicable human rights standards, and the central factors that render alternatives effective in practice.
