The program was developed so that all sessions have practical significance for QCS staff in the field and also for those who support frontline operations. The program touches on many relevant issues and attendees took away new knowledge that can be applied in the corrective services workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many GCI researchers presented and 200 Queensland Corrective Services staff from every kind of operational and support role from every region of Queensland attended the symposium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
