C.A.S.
Art.11 legislative decree N°142 - 18/08/15 designes the
institutions of Extraordinary Measures for Asylum Seekers
Reception
CAS is conceived to obviate the lack of available places in the
ordinary reception facilities in case of massive and frequent
arrival of migrants. Those facilities are designed by the
Prefectures, in agreement with cooperatives, associations
and hotels in accordance with public contracts regulations,
with the local authorities being informed. Accomodation
should be limited to the time strictly necessary for the
transfer of the applicant in second reception centres
SPRAR
The Protection System for Asylum Seekeers (the so callled “second reception) is established by the Department for Civil Liberties and immigration of the Ministry of Interior and operated by ANCI (the National Association of Italian
Municipalities)
Besides food and chelter, those centres must provide other
services such as linguistic and cultural mediation, Italian
language courses, vocational training and legal assistance so
as to facilitate integration. Accomodation is granted for 6
months, which can be extended for a further six months; it
is in case granted until the decision of the Territorial
Commission.
