Bridge — referral management for children’s homes
Bridge brings every referral you receive into one shared list, so your team can see what has come in, weigh it against the homes you run, and decide quickly.
Every referral in one place

Matched against your homes
Inside Bridge
Every referral in one shared list
Every referral lands in one shared list. Assign it to the right home manager, see who has picked it up, and send a reminder when one has been sitting too long. Accept, decline or put a referral on hold, with the reason saved against it so the decision is always there to look back on.
Matching referrals to your homes
Bridge holds a profile for each of your homes, from the ages you care for to the needs you can support and where you are. Every referral is weighed against them, and the homes that look like a strong fit are highlighted, so the best options are in front of you when you decide.
Referrals from placement portals and secure email
Not every referral arrives as a plain email. Bridge signs in to Placements Portal and the West Midlands Placement Portal for you and brings new referrals across with their paperwork. Secure messages sent through Egress are opened and downloaded too. It all lands in the same list as everything else.
Occupancy and referral analytics
See how your service is doing across every home. What came in, how quickly your team replied, what you took and what you turned down, and the reasons behind it, so you can see where places are going unfilled and where time is being lost.
Who Bridge is for
Bridge is built for organisations running children’s homes, from a single home to a group of services. Registered managers use it to see what has come in and decide quickly. Referrals and placement teams use it to keep every enquiry in one place. Leaders use it to see where places are going unfilled across the group.
