More than a bed.
A place to call home.
A chance to thrive.
A placement is more than an available bed. Bring the child's voice, a home's capabilities and the evidence together — so every decision has a clear reason behind it.

CLARITY WHERE IT MATTERS
Four different questions.
Four clear answers.
A single percentage cannot tell the whole story. bHome keeps the reasons for a decision visible, separate and open to review.
Can this placement
How well does the home
meet this child's needs?
Eight weighted domains connect the child’s daily life with the home’s actual capabilities. The same rules apply regardless of provider ownership or size.
Explainable domain scoresHow much do
we know?
Evidence confidence makes gaps, stale information and unconfirmed claims visible.
Confidence shown separatelyWhat still needs
to be agreed?
Offers, funding and agreements sit alongside the decision. Price never changes suitability.
A separate approval journeyTHE WHOLE PLACEMENT, NOT JUST THE VACANCY
Eight domains.
One child at the centre.
From the child’s voice to the people on the night shift, every domain has a part in understanding whether a home can provide the right support.
The right people,
at the right times.
Staff skills, experience and the live rota matter across day, evening, weekend and overnight shifts. Training evidence and assessed competency remain distinct.
The children already
living there matter too.
Consider developmental balance, vulnerability, sensory needs, shared space and staffing demand. The provider shares a structured conclusion while detailed resident information stays protected in the operational workflow.
Keep the conversation
with the referral.
Enquiries, clarification, provider responses and decline reasons inform the professional decision. The rationale carries forward into transition planning and outcome reviews.

Security with a clear delivery boundary
The production requirements include verified organisational access, mandatory MFA, tenant separation and protected audit and document storage. These are requirements for the hosted platform; this showcase does not demonstrate or certify those controls.
Designed to complement existing practice
The bHome proposition connects referrals, provider evidence and placement outcomes. Alignment with regional templates and existing systems is a design objective; live integrations are not demonstrated here.
