Çocuklarla Yapılan Adli Görüşmeler İçin Ulusal Çocuk Sağlığı ve İnsan Gelişim Enstitüsü Protokolü (NICHD) Önerisi: Türkçe Versiyonu

Adli süreç içerisinde çocuklarla yapılan görüşmelerin uygun bir şekilde yapılması ve olaya dair detaylara gerçeğe en yakın şekilde ulaşılabilmesi hem mağdur olan çocuğa hem de sanığa ilişkin adli sürecin hedeflenen yönde yürütülebilmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu nedenle, özellikle çocuklarla yapılan adli görüşmelerde, çocuktan elde edilecek bilginin nitelik ve niceliğinin sağlanması ve korunması amacıyla gerekli önlemler alınmakta, adli sistem içerisinde ihtiyaç duyulan düzenlemeler yapılmaktadır. Ülkemizde çocuk izlem merkezleri ve adli görüşme odalarının kurulmasının asli nedenlerinden biri de budur. Ancak, söz konusu fiziki düzenlemelerin yanı sıra adli görüşme yöntemlerinin de göz önünde bulundurulması ve adli sistemde çocukla temas içinde olan uzmanların ortak kullanımına sunulan standart bir görüşme protokolünün oluşturulması öncelik arz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda, çocuklarla gerçekleştirilen adli görüşmelerin ve bu görüşmeler için sağlanması gereken kriterlerin önemine değinmek amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada, özellikle cinsel istismar mağduru çocuklarla gerçekleştirilen adli görüşmelerde çocuklardan daha güvenilir bilgi alabilmek adına oluşturulan Ulusal Çocuk Sağlığı ve İnsan Gelişim Enstitüsü Protokolü’nün (The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Protocol-NICHD) Türkçe versiyonu tam metin olarak paylaşılmıştır. Aynı zamanda, bu çalışma vasıtasıyla istismar mağduru çocuklarla adli görüşme sürecinde yer alan uzmanlar için yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme prokollerinin kullanımının öneminin vurgulanması amaçlanmıştır.

The Proposal of The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Protocol for Forensic Interviews with Children: The Turkish Version

Proper forensic interviews with children during the judicial process and accessing the details of the incident as close to the reality as possible ensure that the judicial process concerning both the victim child and the accused can be carried out in the right direction. Therefore, necessary measures are taken within the judicial system in order to ensure and protect the quality and quantity of information to be obtained, especially in judicial interviews conducted with children. This is one of the main reasons for the establishment of child monitoring centers and forensic interview rooms in our country. However, it is a priority to consider the legal arrangements as well as the physical arrangements in question and to establish a standard interview protocol for common use of experts in contact with the child in the judicial system. In this context, the aim of this study was to discuss the importance of forensic interviews with children and the criteria to be met for these interviews, Turkish version of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Protocol, which was established in order to obtain more reliable information from children, especially during judicial interviews conducted with children victims of sexual abuse is shared as full text. At the same time, this study aimed to emphasize the importance of the use of semi-structured interview protocols for the experts involved in forensic interviews with child victims of abuse.
