[b] SAPS has implemented a Gender-based Violence (GBV) Case Management Intervention Plan with the aim to:
- Improve service delivery to victims of such crimes;
- Prevent GBV service complaints;
- Provide victim-friendly services to victims of GBV; and
- Provide an integrated service to victims of GBV through a referral process.
SAPS, in partnership with other stakeholders also provided LGBTIQA+ Awareness Training and Trauma Support Worker Training to members and volunteers.
The Department of Community Safety is mandated to monitor police conduct and to oversee the effectiveness and efficiency of the SAPS. The department’s focus is on monitoring SAPS with the Domestic Violence Act and in doing so, priority is given to monitoring police stations that fall in the top 50 police stations in terms of domestic violence incidents reported.
The department is in the process of monitoring the level of compliance of SAPS specialised units dealing with sexual offence cases, namely the Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) units. In line with the focus on GBV and Femicide, the FCS units are the first SAPS specialised units that is prioritised by the department for the purpose of monitoring.
