Care in Mind joins Care England
We are delighted to confirm that Care in Mind is now an official member of Care England, the leading representative body for independent providers of adult social care in England.
This membership marks another important step forward for our organisation, as we continue to grow, strengthen our voice, and ensure we remain at the forefront of best practice in the care sector.
Why Care England membership matters
Care England plays a vital role in advocating for care providers at local, regional, and national levels. As a member, Care in Mind will be part of a powerful collective working to influence policies, share expertise, and champion the needs of those working in, and supported by, the care sector.
This means we now have a stronger platform to ensure that the voices of our teams, the young people we support, and their families are heard in key policy discussions and decisions that shape the future of care provision in the UK.
Staying informed with expert insights
One of the most immediate benefits of membership is access to Care England’s regular communications, designed to keep members fully informed of the latest developments in the care sector.
We will now receive:
-
Daily Press Updates – the most relevant care sector news stories delivered straight to our inbox.
-
Care Sector Insights (twice weekly) – a digest of important policy information affecting adult social care.
-
Weekly Events Bulletin – highlighting sector events and opportunities.
-
Monthly Care Agenda Newsletter – featuring thought-provoking articles and insights from sector leaders.
-
Monthly Parliamentary Updates – keeping us aware of legislative developments.
-
Quarterly Savings, Solutions & Sustainability Publication – showcasing innovative approaches and cost-saving opportunities.
By staying informed, we can adapt quickly to changes, share relevant knowledge with our teams, and continue to deliver outstanding care.
Access to resources and expertise
As a member, Care in Mind can now draw on Care England’s extensive resource library and information hub. This includes up-to-date research, industry reports, and practical guidance – all available to our leadership and operational teams via the Care England website.
We will also have access to exclusive discounts and offers on products and services relevant to the care sector, helping us to work more efficiently and sustainably.
Networking and collaboration
Our membership opens the door to valuable networking opportunities through Care England’s six Special Interest Group Forums. These forums bring together care professionals from across the country to share best practice, tackle common challenges, and explore innovative solutions.
This will give Care in Mind a space to learn from other providers, contribute our own expertise in trauma-informed mental healthcare, and build partnerships that benefit the young people we support.
Market Intelligence and Management Tools
Care England members enjoy access to two powerful tools:
-
MINT (Market Intelligence System) – providing key CQC, fee, financial, and sector data to inform strategic decisions.
-
SMART (Strategic Management Audit Repository Tool) – helping care providers manage services effectively, reduce costs, and access best practice guidance.
These tools will be invaluable for our leadership and quality teams, supporting evidence-based decision-making and service improvement.
Aligning with our core values
Joining Care England aligns perfectly with our core values of being Committed, Innovative, and Collaborative. This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering the highest quality care, our willingness to embrace innovation, and our belief in the power of working together with others to make a lasting difference.
Our membership will help ensure that we remain informed, connected, and influential in the conversations shaping the future of care in England. It will also support our goal of continually improving our services and outcomes for the young people who rely on us.
Looking Ahead
As we move forward with our Care England membership, we will share relevant insights, opportunities, and sector developments with our teams. This ensures that the benefits of membership reach beyond our leadership, empowering staff at every level to feel part of a wider care community.
We are excited about the opportunities this membership brings – from influencing policy to accessing cutting-edge data and joining a network of forward-thinking care providers.
