Abstract
Neste artigo refletimos sobre o papel da ação social na promoção
de bem-estar em períodos de crise e no presente, durante o período
pandémico. O exercício do Serviço Social na sociedade é
aplicado por assistentes sociais que, embora seja um recurso especializado,
tem uma fraca autonomia do profissional na tomada
de decisão, um fraco reconhecimento do saber teórico do assistente
social pelos decisores institucionais e trabalha maioritariamente
em equipas uniprofissionais. Mas o assistente social sendo
um profissional especializado tem uma formação teórico-prática
sustentada na aquisição de competências teóricas, instrumentais
e práticas para uma intervenção na complexidade, incluindo o
trabalho em rede e a advocacia e o treino da observação da realidade
social em que a pessoa se insere. O assistente social, como
profissional da relação e da comunicação, desempenha uma forte
atividade de mediação na conexão dos diferentes agentes para
uma mudança social sustentável.
Na elaboração do artigo utilizamos uma metodologia qualitativa
baseada em técnicas de observação da realidade social ao nível
institucional e comunitário, de pesquisa e análise documental.
O artigo instiga à reflexão profissional, à inovação das abordagens
de intervenção e a uma nova matriz de pensar a ação social emancipatória
e promotora de maior inclusão social numa forte e efetiva
aplicação de direitos humanos para o desenvolvimento social e
humano. Destacamos a necessidade das intervenções públicas na
prossecução de objetivos coletivos fundamentados numa estratégia
de desenvolvimento que promova um futuro mais sustentável
e equitativo. Se, por um lado, a pandemia veio salientar a necessidade
de políticas mais equitativas e sustentáveis, baseadas no
diálogo social, e igualmente importante alargar a reflexão sobre
a proteção social a domínios como a regulamentação do teletrabalho
e promover uma maior disponibilidade da sociedade para
mobilizar recursos financeiros, contribuindo para a minimização
de riscos através da Segurança Social e aumentar a confiança do
público nas instituições sociais.
In this article we reflect on the role of social action in promoting well-being in periods of crisis and in the present, during pandemic period. The exercise of Social Work in society is applied by social workers who, despite being a specialised resource, have little professional autonomy in decision-making, little recognition of the theoretical knowledge of the social worker by institutional decisionmakers and work mostly in single-professional teams. However, as a specialised professional, the social worker has a theoretical and practical training sustained by the acquisition of theoretical, instrumental, and practical skills for an intervention in complexity. including networking and social advocacy, as well as training in the observation of the social reality in which the person is inserted. The social worker, as a relationship and communication professional, performs a strong mediating activity in connecting the different agents for a sustainable social change. In preparing the article we used a qualitative methodology based on techniques of observation of social reality at the institutional and community level, of research and document analysis. The article instigates professional reflection, innovation of intervention approaches and a new matrix of thinking about emancipatory social action promoting greater social inclusion in a strong and effective application of human rights for social and human development. We highlight the need for public interventions in the pursuit of collective goals based on a development strategy that promotes a more sustainable and equitable future. If, on the one hand, the pandemic has highlighted the need for more equitable and sustainable policies based on social dialogue, it is equally important to broaden the reflection on social protection to areas such as the regulation of telework and to promote greater willingness of society to mobilise financial resources, contributing to risk minimisation through social security and increasing public confidence in social institutions.
