What exactly is this: asylum, temporary protection, humanitarian admission, resettlement or another protection mechanism?

Which population, circumstances or geographic group does the mechanism cover?

Where can protection be requested, and is this a direct application, border/in-country request, referral or other process?

The placement is agreed between authorities: the central authorities of the Netherlands and the country of origin must give permission beforehand, and the country of origin must have arranged legal authority over the child. If the Dutch authorities agree, the child receives a residence permit; the Dutch Central Authority (CA) passes this information to the IND. IND forms: 7526 (temporary humanitarian), 7527 (non-temporary, in the Netherlands), 9522 (outside the Netherlands).
