A formação profissional como requisito indispensável ao exercício da função de conselheiro tutelar

Abstract

ABSTRACT This final course paper analyzes the normative criteria established for the exercise of the role of a child protection counselor under the aegis of the Child and Adolescent Statute (Brazil, 1990) The research investigates the elements that compose the candidacy notices and describes the demands effectively met by the body, highlighting the technical competencies required for its performance. The central problem lies in the absence of a requirement for specific professional qualification, notably a degree in Social Work, for performing the activity. The general objective is to demonstrate the correlation between current legal requirements and the complexity of the social reality presented to the council. Methodologically, the study is based on bibliographic and documentary research, drawing on the 1988 Federal Constitution and the theoretical framework of authors such as Del Priore (2000) and Faleiros (2001). The analysis discusses the autonomy and duties of the role to support the need for implementing a minimum requirement of higher education in Social Work for candidacy to the position. It concludes that technical-scientific qualification is indispensable to ensuring the effectiveness of the integral protection doctrine.
