*Safe Zones are designated supervised

spaces within accommodation sites which

provide UAC with 24/7 emergency protection

and care. They should be used as short term

(maximum 3 months) measures to care for

UAC in light of the insufficient number of

available shelter places. Safe Zone priority is

given to UAC in detention as well as other

vulnerable children, in line with their best

interests.

**Hotels are emergency accommodation

spaces being used as a measure to care for

UAC in light of the insufficient number of

available shelter places. Priority is given to

UAC in Reception and Identification Centers.
