This article aims to analyze how the social workers of the Sections of the Regional Council of Social Work (CRESS) 10th Region understand and relation to the representative entities of Social Work. This is the result of a mixed survey, carried out in 2019-2020, with active Social Workers from the CRESS 10th Region Sections. To obtain the data, were used bibliographical research, focus groups and questionnaire application. Content analysis and inferential type analysis were used for data processing. The results indicated weakness in the understanding of the role of entities and difficulties of participation. Indicate the need to strengthen the category’s representative entities as a strategy to confront the intensification of the precariousness of the world of work and social policies, as well as strategies that contribute to the understanding of the role of entities and the democratization of representative spaces of the category as ways of expanding the participation of professionals.
