A text published online addresses a controversy related to a competitive selection process for the recruitment of personnel in the Social Work area at the Municipality of Funchal, in Madeira. The article references a previous text titled "The wording of the procedure should be changed!", which is described as objective and without direct accusations, focusing on the defense of legal principles and the Public Administration.
The main issue raised is that the competitive selection process seems to allow candidates without a bachelor's degree in Social Work, but with a master's degree in the field, to be admitted, while candidates with a bachelor's degree in Social Work but with a master's degree in another field would be overlooked. The article criticizes that the competition does not require documentary proof of registration with the Order of Social Workers.
The author highlights an apparent inconsistency: for the knowledge test, studying the matter "Statutes of the Order of Social Workers" is required, despite not requiring proof of registration in the same Order. The article questions whether this is due to the jury's incompetence or if it was intentional.
The author appeals to the members of the Order of Social Workers, with representatives in Madeira, to embrace this cause and fight for the professionals who were harmed. He also suggests that the text may be sent to the Court of Auditors and to the DCIAP/Public Prosecutor's Office, although he expresses hope that it is merely a lapse in the wording of the procedure.
