The Act requires the police to render ‘assistance as may be required in the circumstances, including assisting or making arrangements for the complainant to find a suitable shelter and to obtain medical treatment’ (s2(a)). The assistance that must be provided in terms of the Act and accompanying guidelines for the SAPS includes: i complainants of their rights to apply for a protection order and/or lay a criminal charge; complainant in finding alternative accommodation, shelter and counselling; Targeted beneficiaries Victims of domestic violence are almost always women and children. ii They are accordingly the primary targeted beneficiaries of the Domestic Violence Act. The Act recognises the vulnerability of children to domestic violence. iii It extends the protective ambit of the Act by including them in the definition of protected ‘complainants’. A complainant is defined as (s1(iii)): Any person who is or has been in a domestic relationship with a respondent and who is or has been subjected or allegedly subject to an act of domestic violence, including any child in the care of the complainant. Domestic violence includes (s1(viii)): psychological abuse; SAPS officers ➔ 207
