For the provision of supervision of clinical leads for Psychologically Informed Planned Environments (PIPEs) Supervision of clinical leads is undertaken by a group analyst who is experienced working with personality disorder, staff teams and organisational dynamics; they come together once a month for monthly group supervision and bi-monthly for individual supervision.
The participants of the supervision are PIPE Clinical Leads and PIPE Operational Leads (separate groups) working across prisons and probation in the delivery of PIPE services. The Clinical Leads are typically a mix of Registered Psychologists and Psychotherapists. The supervision processes are designed to support the ongoing delivery and growth of PIPE services and the PIPE model nationally, to promote the understanding of the 'therapeutic environment' approach, and to promote the role of group analytic thinking within this process.

• Integration, collaboration and service sustainability (20%)

• Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice (20%)
