Bridgit is an online self-service platform available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Bridgit also gives you access to the first stage of a carer's assessment. You can answer a set of questions online at a time that suits you, and submitting them will begin the process.
Your information is then followed up by Help & Care, Dorset Carer Service, on behalf of Dorset Council. They will talk with you about what you would like to achieve and offer guidance and support. If you wish, Help & Care can then refer you to Dorset Council for a full Carer’s Assessment.
Alternatively, you can choose to contact Dorset Council directly.
We would recommend working through the self-help tools on Bridgit and talking with Help & Care, Dorset Carer Service before starting a Carer Assessment.
You can also visit Help & Care, or call them on 0303 303 0153, who can connect you with all the services Dorset Council have to offer.
