Place of safety

Removal to a place of safety is a form of detention. It refers to a practice where an individual is temporarily taken to a designated location, such as a hospital, care facility, or shelter, when authorities determine that there is a risk to the individual’s health or safety, or a risk that the individual may cause harm to others. This intervention, is typically used in contexts such as mental health care, child protection, and immigration.
