Come and connect with the Kindred Community

Kindred Community has created a platform for independent case managers to support each other, share best practice, resources, incoming referrals, business management and compliance support. 

Come and connect with us: let your referrers know you have the security and framework of a larger support network around you. Moving towards a new way of working together.

Kindred Connect is a support network for independent case managers or therapists running their own business.

For those of us who enjoy the autonomy of running our own businesses but miss the benefits and support of being part of a larger company and community.

Kindred Connect is a group of likeminded, ethical practitioners all working collaboratively in the same industry

We all know just how time-consuming and, at times, lonely it can be running your own business.

Keeping on top of governance, CQC compliance and other regulations, needing to source information quickly, find clinicians, keep up to date with industry developments; whilst trying to run a cost conscious and effective business alongside our main focus of delivering excellent quality case management or therapy services to our case load of clients. 

Three years ago, after setting up our own small independent case management company, we realised the importance of being part of a wider community, having others to collaborate with and a support network around us.

So “Kindred Connect” was formed to provide a consciously informal but professional support network for independent case managers working alone or as small companies.

Our aim is to work together and have the benefits of being part of a wider team, whilst remaining independent.

And three years on it has become an invaluable tool and space for sharing ideas, obtaining feedback and accessing business support and clinical help.

Feedback from our members, “Kindred Connect”:

– an excellent way to show due diligence to our refers and funders.

– illustrates our commitment to providing an excellent and collaborative service to our clients.

 – has saved time and cost in finding clinicians, getting feedback and information quickly and sharing ideas in a safe and professional environment. The CPD has been so helpful in expanding my industry knowledge.

– excellent peer support and responses, sharing of experiences and knowledge.

– shows our commitment to be part of Kindred’s ethical standards and they have provided support and encouragement, sometimes reassurance when needed.
