Training . There was insufficient training of SAPS officials to deal with victims of domestic violence. In addition, once-off training was inadequate to ensure officials were equipped to deal with matters related to domestic violence. . Some training of police officials has taken place. However, given the reports of negative attitudes by some police officials, there was a need to review existing training modules and monitor and evaluate their application. The monitoring and evaluation of whether officials require training, at what level, as well as if officials were implementing what they know required serious attention. . It was also highlighted that there was a need to debrief police officials who consistently deal with issues of domestic violence to enable them to cope with their exposure to trauma and remain sensitive to the issue. Specialised units . Presenters at the public hearings welcomed the re-establishment of specialised units such as the Family Violence Child Protection Unit and Sexual Offences Units (FCS). More clarity was sought as to when and how these units would be introduced, including the provision of adequate resources to these structures. The mandate of these units in relation to domestic violence had been very limited in the past so it was also necessary to clarify their mandate around such cases in future.
