Abstract

This Course Conclusion Paper (TCC) addresses an analysis of the Social Assistance Policy, its advances and setbacks, and it is necessary to emphasize the entire process of poverty in Brazil and the consequences for individuals in society, highlighting mechanisms that enable greater confrontation and stressing the importance of Social Protection as an essential mechanism for everyone in need. The interest in the theme arose from the internship experience in one of the CRAS in the municipality of Sousa. It is a qualitative research, whose methodological procedures in this study consider, fundamentally, the need to rescue the elements that, in their interrelation, constitute the totality of the object under analysis. This entire route is indispensable to understand the legal frameworks of Social Assistance, establishing itself as a public policy in a capitalist society, in which it will be affected by several obstacles, among them precariousness, and above all in an inland city such as Sousa / PB in which it is located. it is more noticeable, Social Work practices influenced by clientelism being present in the professional routine of the Social Worker at the Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS), in which they are affected by precarious working conditions, leading to conservative practices and making social assistance a fragmented, focused and selective policy which consequently prevents these professionals from acting more critically and mainly from being recognized, resulting in health problems for these professionals as an effect of the conditions to which they are submitted.
