Social security . Budget Review 2013 mentions the Department of Social Development is exploring ways to improve income support for orphaned children who live with their relatives (page 85) this should be taken into account. . During November 2012, the Department of Social Development held a consultative meeting on a proposed reform that would provide a LARGER (in amount) child support grant to relatives caring for orphans ("Extended CSG"). Children's rights groups welcomed the proposal. It will ensure orphans get their grants faster and will also free up social workers and court time to provide better protection services to children who had been abused. . The report should reflect an acknowledgment of the challenges in reaching all orphans in poverty and report that the Department of Social Development is in the process of reforming the social assistance system to ensure that orphans receive adequate social assistance timeously. (The Directorate on Social Security within DSD can provide more information). . The administrative burden on courts and social workers due to the increase in foster care placements remains a concern not only in relation to the financial burden it places on the State and limitations on its sustainability BUT the resultant high number of lapsed orders. The report refers to a moratorium on future lapsing and the court calling for the reinstatement of all foster care grants and orders lapsed since April 2009 - in reality this is not happening in many regions.
