Psychologically Informed Planned Environments (PIPEs) are specifically designed environments where staff members have additional training to help them develop an increased psychosocial understanding of their work. This understanding enables them to create an enhanced safe and supportive environment, which can facilitate the development of those who live there.

PIPEs have been designed to operate in Prisons and in Probation Approved Premises settings. They aim to provide opportunities for improved relational experiences, supporting residents to make meaning of their environment and thrive through participation in a pro-social setting.
