In this context, there is a challenge for the implementation of the Tutelary Council´s role in Brazilian society, because that body to fulfill one of its duties, apply protective measures through the request service network established by government policies and non-governmental organizations. In the city of Rio de Janeiro, Tutelary Council has social workers who carry out this professional advisory. To better understand this advice, this dissertation intends to signal features of the work of social workers in the Tutelary Council. Thus, the theoretical framework privileges the possible integration of the TC as public space, on the theory of Hannah Arendt (2008). The methodology is guided in semi-structured interviews with social workers from Tutelary Council in Rio de Janeiro and data in the files of the technical staff. The issues that pervade the work of these bodies directly influence the performance of Social Work and the main results obtained indicate significant elements that provide a reflection on the importance of social work in the Tutelary Councils for effective enforcement of children s rights.
