The Child Support Grant was introduced to address poverty alleviation in the sense of supplementing the provision of basic needs of children. When the grant was initiated it catered for children under the age of seven, and is currently assisting children up until 18 years of age. Even though the children are supposed to be benefitting from the grants, reports from social workers and selected research findings question whether some children do indeed receive the benefits of the grant. Previous studies have predominantly focused on the experiences of caregivers/beneficiaries. The goal of this exploratory-descriptive study was to explore and describe selected social workers’ experiences regarding the utilization of the child support grant by beneficiaries. The population comprised of social workers who have two years of experience working with families receiving the Child Support Grant and who work for the Department of Social Development and Special Programmes, Afrikaanse Christelike Vroue VerenIging, and Child Welfare South Africa in Somerset East.
