Abstract
Psychologically Informed Planned Environments (PIPEs) have been developed as part of the Offender Personality Disorder Strategy ( Department of Health, 2011 ). The Yorkshire and Humberside Personality Disorder Partnership (YHPDP) supports the delivery of this strategy at a local level, which includes two PIPE Approved Premises (AP). We have found that one of the most challenging and important aspects of running a PIPE AP has been responding to rule-breaking in a psychologically-informed manner. This paper describes a stepped and structured framework which we developed for managing boundary violations that is in line with the PIPE ethos.
