The LITP allows for the detention of vulnerable applicants, if detention is suited to their special needs i.e. if, by individual assessment, it is established that such a form of accommodation is suitable for his or her personal circumstances and needs, and especially for his or her health.[1] Moreover, it provides for detention of unaccompanied children, although separately from adults and for as short a period as possible if, through individual assessment, it is established that this form of accommodation is necessary.[2] During 2023, one child accompanied by parents, and one person with special reception needs were accommodated in the Reception Centre for Foreigners.[3]
