Centro de Referência Especializado Em Assistência Social: uma experiência curricular e o eminente colapso causado pelo desmonte na política de assistência social do Município de Santa Maria

Abstract

This Course Conclusion Paper has as its central theme the dismantling that has been occurring in the Social Assistance Policy of the Municipality of Santa Maria RS caused by the political pressure on Social Assistance. The objective of this work is to bring to the debate this situation, listing all the problems encountered during the stage realized in CREAS I, in order to find alternatives capable of facing these situations. During the period in which I remained in the internship, I realized that the field of professional activity of the social workers is very broad and, at the same time, demands from the professional a series of confrontations. The relations of power, the first damismo, clientelism, the lack of material and human resources, outsourcing, are just some of the examples among others that end up interfering in the daily work. Emphasizing that Social Assistance is a public policy inserted in the tripod of Social Security, guaranteed by the Federal Constitution of 1988. With this the Social Welfare class conquers rights and legitimizes its principles in the form of specific legislation. The outsourced management of the means of work in the assistance represent a setback in all this historical apparatus of the profession, as it limits the work of the professionals and disrespects labor rights. It is concluded that the social workers who work in CREAS I of Santa Maria, measure and put into practice the assistance policies of social and labor rights of users, and the social workers themselves who work in this space do not have the basic rights of a worker.
