Abstract

In the above paper three citations were inadvertently omitted. The quotations that were not accurately attributed to the authors are as follows : 1. Page 3. 'Resilience literature has evolved from concepts related to personality factors such as adaptability and hardiness (Bonanno, 2007) and developed to include process-based insights into resilience (Hart et al., 2007). This development places the individual in context and creates the ability to examine options for building resilience into organisational contexts. It is noted that this is an emerging area of research and concepts of resilience and adversarial growth are challenged in relation to rigour of the research and validity (Luthar et al., 2000).' This paragraph is paraphrased from Russ et al. (2009 p. 330) and needs to be appropriately attributed. 2. Page 3. 'Russ et al. (2009) states that there are at least four conditions of adversity that research has identified as common experiences in child protection work. These are work stress (Lonne, 2003), burnout (Maslach et al., 1996), trauma (Horowitz, 1998) and vicarious traumatisation (Conrad and Kellar-Guenther, 2006). Research has highlighted the potential for these experiences to have significant adverse impacts for child protection workers and suggested that these adversities contribute to declining staff wellbeing (Conrad and Kellar-Guenther, 2006). This ultimately impacts on organisations by lowering the willingness and ability of individuals to function optimally.' This paragraph is paraphrased from Russ et al. (2009 p. 328) and should be appropriately referenced. 3. Page 3. 'Despite the predominantly negative focus on burnout, researchers have increasingly identified a proportion of child protection workers who continue to function effectively and report high job satisfaction (Conrad and Kellar-Guenther, 2006; Ellett, 2009; Nordick, 2002). Furthermore, a closer examination of the research suggests that, even where negative indicators are evident, 50-70 per cent of study participants remain without symptoms or dysfunction (Conrad and Kellar-Guenther, 2006).' This should be a direct quote from Russ et al. (2009 p. 329). The author has requested that the original sources of publication be correctly acknowledged in the journal which is Russ E, Lonne B, & Darlington Y (2009) Using Resilience to Reconceptualise Child Protection Workforce Capacity, Australian Social Work, 62:3,324-338, DOI:10.1080/03124070903060042.
