SOCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY AND THE MALE SINGLE-PARENTAL FAMILY: BETWEEN THE LIMITS AND POSSIBILITIES OF THE SOCIAL WORKER’S PROFESSIONAL INTERVENTION

Abstract

The objective of this work is to understand how the social worker's professional performance develops with families that are configured as single-parent male families in the face of policies aimed at families. Using the bibliographical study as a research method where authors corroborate this objective, it is possible to understand from this study the importance of the social worker who brings with him the technical-operative, ethical-political and theoretical-methodological, investigative skills and more a set of instruments that help the professional to serve each individual sensitively to their needs and particularities. Noting that a reformulation of the current social policy is necessary, so that all family groups can be served fairly.
