TRUTER, Elmien  y  FOUCHE, Ansie. Reflective supervision: Guidelines for promoting resilience amongst designated social workers. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2015, vol.51, n.2, pp.221-243. ISSN 2312-7198.  https://doi.org/51-1-444.

The importance of child protection as well as the designated social workers (DSWs) assigned to them, and the jeopardy they face, is well recognised. Although there is a call to enhance DSW resilience, little is known about their resilience, and there are no guidelines to equip South African DSW supervisors to promote supervisee resilience. This article proposes resilience-enhancing guidelines for South African DSWs within reflective supervision. These suggested guidelines are based on empirical research findings pertaining to (a) a systematic meta-synthesis of DSW risk and resilience; (b) indicators of South African DSW resilience; and (c) the lived experiences of 15 resilient South African DSWs.
