Towards authentic supervision of social workers in South Africa

Abstract

Supervision of social workers has been practiced in South Africa for more than half a century. A process of authentication was reinvigorated at South African tertiary institutions in 2015 to decolonize university curricula. This process included dismantling of Western-dominated theories—also in social work supervision practice. The authentication of supervision is expounded in this article as steps in a process model devised with the aim to compose determinants and a definition of social work supervision in South Africa, in order to engender future nationally relevant inquiries into the ongoing development of an authentic body of supervision knowledge and practices.
