Social control as a form of participation in social assistance policy

Abstract

Social control, as well as social participation are proposals that emerge in the Brazilian context from the mobilizations of organized civil society that demanded their insertion in the discussion and deliberation of public policies. Thus, as a result of the mobilizations of a democratic nature, the Federal Constitution of 1988 institutionalizes the formation of joint management councils to enable the monitoring of public policies by civil society. Through bibliographic and field research we were able to identify that participation is still limited in the exercise of social control, particularly regarding social assistance councils.
