Description: A Peadiatric Sexual Assault Kit provided and funded by the South African Police Service and the Family, Violence, Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Unit (SAPS ââ¬â FSCU). Through various awareness campaigns conducted by Simelela and SAPS, children and those supervising them are advised not to remove clothes and not to drink water. An Investigating Officer from FCSU arrives usually within half hour to take a statement following a brief pre-counselling session at the Centre. A Clinical Forensic Practitioner ââ¬â typically a doctor or nurse specially trained in gathering forensic evidence would then proceed to examine the child survivor and offer specialised medical treatment, including PEP medication to prevent the onset of HIV.
