PIPEs are specifically designed environments where staff members have additional training to develop an increased psychological understanding of their work. This understanding enables staff to further develop a safe and supportive environment which facilitates an offender's pathway either pre-treatment, through treatment, post-treatment, or on transition into the community. The service is aimed at supporting offenders to progress through the system in a planned and pathway based approach.
PIPEs are designed to have a particular focus on the environment in which they operate; actively recognising the importance and quality of relationships and interactions. They aim to maximise ordinary situations to support development, and to approach these in a psychologically informed way, paying attention to issues relating to Personality Disorder for example.
PIPEs form a significant part of the pathway for PD, and feature in settings with different levels of security, both in custody and the community. The operating model for PIPEs is adaptable for the environment that it operates in and the purpose it is fulfilling. Whilst they can be considered as a 'therapeutic environment' they are not a treatment intervention themselves.
