ÖZET
 Amaç: Çocukların yargılama safhalarında gerek şikâyetçi (mağdur) gerek sanık veya tanık olarak bulunmaları hâlinde, erişkinlere ilişkin usul ve yöntemlerle yargılamaya dâhil edilmeleri mümkün değildir. Çok özel bir konu olan çocuk yargılaması ve mağdur çocuğun dinlenmesinde klasik yargılama usullerinin yetersizliği bilinen bir gerçektir. Bu sebeple yeni çözüm modelleri olarak türlü yöntemler geliştirilmiştir. Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu'nun 236. Maddesi'nde mağdur çocuğun dinlenmesine ilişkin usul düzenlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, mağdur çocuğun dinlenmesi sırasında uzman bulundurma zorunluluğuna ilişkin olarak yargılamanın değişik safhalarında görevli kamu personelinin, yasal düzenlemenin amacına matuf olarak uygulamayı ne oranda benimsediklerini ve konuya ilişkin mevcut mevzuatın çocuğun üstün yararı ilkesinin korunmasında yeterliliği hakkındaki görüş ve önerilerini öğrenmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu amaçla, 2015 yılında İstanbul Adliyelerinde çocuk adalet sisteminde görevli polis, savcı, hâkim, avukat ve uzman olarak görev yapan 30 katılımcı ile derinlemesine mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiş, elde edilen bulgular içerik analizi yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmanın bazı önemli bulgularına göre; katılımcılar mevzuatın yeterliliğine ilişkin çoğunlukla olumlu görüş bildirmekle birlikte, bir kısmı mağdur çocuğun dinlenmesi hususunda yeterli donanım ve hizmet içi eğitime sahip olmadıklarını beyan etmişlerdir. Sonuç:Mağdur çocuğun dinlenmesinin mevzuat hükümlerince uygulanmasının adaletin tecellisinde önem arz ettiği düşünülmekte, çocuk adalet sisteminde görev yapanların ilgili eğitim ve farkındalık programlarına katılmaları önerilmektedir.
