Our Accreditations
At Care in Mind, we believe that quality care starts with accountability, safety, and ongoing professional development. That’s why we place great importance on holding the right accreditations—those that genuinely matter to the young people we support, the professionals who care for them, and the commissioners who place their trust in us.
These accreditations aren’t just logos on a page. They reflect our commitment to best practice, compliance with industry standards, and our ongoing investment in learning, wellbeing, and safeguarding.
Why accreditations matter to us:
- For young people, they provide reassurance that our services are independently reviewed, robustly regulated, and focused on safety, consistency, and care.
- For our staff, they represent a culture of trust, high standards, and opportunities for continuous professional development.
- For commissioners at local authorities, accreditations provide confidence that referrals are being made to a service that meets rigorous standards of quality, safeguarding, and therapeutic care—ensuring the best possible outcomes for the young people in their care.
Whether it’s clinical governance, safeguarding frameworks, or mental health training standards, each accreditation we hold is carefully chosen to align with the needs of our services.
We don’t believe in ticking boxes. We believe in raising standards, staying accountable, and always striving to do better—for our people, and for the young people in our care.
