Good correctional practice includes applying principles of risk-based classification to all adult and juvenile offenders while accounting for unique characteristics and concerns of LGBTI and gender non-conforming populations. To ensure a culture of safety, it is important to identify these individuals at intake. A culture of safety includes everyone understanding and practicing respectful, appropriate and professional language. This webinar discussed the critical role of Intake personnel in cultivating that culture.
