Bringing Clarity and Connection to Placement Decisions
Founded by a care-experienced social worker and an operational leader in children’s services, bPlaced supports Local Authorities and providers to work more closely, reduce placement delays, and improve outcomes for young people.
Built from Experience. Designed for Change.
We understand the pressure on Local Authorities to secure the right home quickly.
We understand the frustration providers feel when referrals are fragmented or misaligned.
And we understand the impact on young people when the process lacks clarity.
bPlaced was created to bring structure, transparency and better communication into placement matching — without adding complexity.
