To recap (in case you missed it): this website is an online resource for a constantly growing community of practice. Our aim here is to support, inform and inspire all those people now involved with the development of 'Psychologically Informed Environments' - PIEs. 

But this is a big and a complex subject; and that means this is a complex website. There is plenty to browse, and you can browse freely. But it may be hard to know where to start.

So this page is intended primarily for those new to the very idea of a PIE; and here we aim to set you on course for understanding the basics of what we mean by a PIE; and what it might mean for you.

That said, even those already fairly familiar with the basics may well find in this collection of pages that the descriptions we give here - the most up-to-date summaries of where we are at - may still hold something new for you.

Either way, we aim to stimulate and encourage further exploration.

In these pages you will find a wide selection of useful items, collected and curated over many years, ranging from published papers and official guidance, to specially produced video content - all for the purpose of sharing practice, research, thoughts and opinions.

There are also some more general pointers for those thinking to take your first steps in this direction, more for the spirit of the thing. And there's a little on the history, the on-going development of these ideas - which you may some day be an active part of yourselves.

Here you will find the core themes of the most recent PIE framework spelled out. In each case - on each page - there are links to more detailed examples, so that you can begin straightaway to track down what in particular interests you just now.

Apologies: there is a temporary (but very annoying) technical problem with accessing some Library items. (For more information, see the Members' Library page: HERE.)

Published pages on the site are unaffected; and it's not contagious.....

Whilst we are attempting to fix the fault, you can request a copy of any original item via an email to:
