Abstract

The study deals with topics of relevance for understanding the configuration of the contemporary capital crisis and the implications for workers. It aimed to analyze the work of social workers based on the parameters of the CFESS/CRESS Nordeste set, in the context of a pandemic. To this end, it was proposed to identify the implications of the Bolsonaro government's conduct of health policy during the pandemic on the work of social workers; understand the proposals and parameters issued by entities representing the profession for the work of social workers during the pandemic; and analyze the main responses undertaken by entities representing the category to guide the work of social workers. The methodology used was the historical-dialectical critical method and its categories of analysis, through bibliographic review and documentary research. The research was carried out in the CFESS/CRESS set and the study period was from January 2023 to June 2024. The research contributed to identifying the main guidelines/standardizations of the CFESS/CRESS Northeast set, in order to understand the parameters of the work of social workers, in the context of the pandemic, by issuing priority and fundamental documents, valuing the guarantee of legislation and legal regulations of the profession, reaffirmed the Ethical-political Project by positioning itself against conservative attacks on Social Services, through the issuance of notes, rules, resolutions and other documents. The CFESS/CRESS Nordeste group faced the pandemic and the Bolsonaro government's ultra-neoliberal and neoconservative offensive. This study contributes to the production of knowledge in Social Work and related areas, becoming relevant with regard to the systematization, analysis and dissemination of the results obtained.
