The complexity of the phenomenon of child sexual abuse images online (CSAIO) benefits from cross‐disciplinary collaboration across law enforcement, child protection, and children's mental health. Through focus groups with professionals working in these fields, this article focuses on when and whether professionals who work with child sexual abuse cases should be exposed to viewing CSAIO and if so under what circumstances doing so would benefit investigations and support services for victims. In a broader sense, this article is about professional experience, decision making, training, and collaboration around a particularly difficult professional experience, namely exposure to viewing CSAIO.

Background Interoperable networks connect information technology systems of different organisations, allowing professionals in one organisation to access patient data held in another one. Health policy-makers in many countries believe that they will improve the co-ordination of services and, hence, the quality of services and patient safety. To the best of our knowledge, there have not been any previous systematic reviews of the effects of these networks on patient safety. Objectives The aim of the study was to establish how, why and in what circumstances interoperable information technology networks improved patient safety, failed to do so or increased safety risks. The objectives of the study were to (1) identify programme theories and prioritise theories to review; (2) search systematically for evidence to test the theories; (3) undertake quality appraisal, and use included texts to support, refine or reject programme theories; (4) synthesise the findings; and (5) disseminate the findings to a range of audiences. Design Realist synthesis, including consultation with stakeholders in nominal groups and semistructured interviews. Settings and participants Following a stakeholder prioritisation process, several domains were reviewed: older people living at home requiring co-ordinated care, at-risk children living at home and medicines reconciliation services for any patients living at home. The effects of networks on services in health economies were also investigated. Intervention An interoperable network that linked at least two organisations, including a maximum of one hospital, in a city or region. Outcomes Increase, reduction or no change in patients’ risks, such as a change in the risk of taking an inappropriate medication. Results We did not find any detailed accounts of the ways in which interoperable networks are intended to work and improve patient safety. Theory fragments were identified and used to develop programme and mid-range theories. There is good evidence that there are problems with the co-ordination of services in each of the domains studied. The implicit hypothesis about interoperable networks is that they help to solve co-ordination problems, but evidence across the domains showed that professionals found interoperable networks difficult to use. There is insufficient evidence about the effectiveness of interoperable networks to allow us to establish how and why they affect patient safety. Limitations The lack of evidence about patient-specific measures of effectiveness meant that we were not able to determine ‘what works’, nor any variations in what works, when interoperable networks are deployed and used by health and social care professionals. Conclusions There is a dearth of evidence about the effects of interoperable networks on patient safety. It is not clear if the networks are associated with safer treatment and care, have no effects or increase clinical risks. Future work Possible future research includes primary studies of the effectiveness of interoperable networks, of economies of scope and scale and, more generally, on the value of information infrastructures.

“…Araştırmalar, mağdur çocuğa yaklaşımda karşılaşılan sorunların çözümünde de farklı uzmanlık alanlarından gelenlerin bir arada müdahalesinin çocuğun yüksek yararı için önemini vurgulamaktadır. 19,20 Bu bağlamda çalışmamız sonucunda, ülkemiz içinde mağdur çocuğa yaklaşım ve müdahalede farklı uzmanlık alanlarının birbirlerinin görev ve sorumluluklarını tanıyan, birbirlerine saygı duyan, etkili iş birliği ve uyum içinde hareket eden bir bütünü oluşturması önerilmektedir. Böylelikle sorunların üstesinden gelmek ve mağdur çocuğun adalet mekanizması içerisinde hak ettiği muameleyi görmesi adına atılacak ilk adım olduğu düşünülmektedir.…”

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. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : 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. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: 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. S So on nu uç ç: : Mağdur çocuğun dinlenmesinin mevzuat hükümlerince uygulanmasının adaletin tecellisinde önem arz ettiği düşünülmekte, çocuk adalet sisteminde görev yapanların ilgili eğitim ve farkındalık programlarına katılmaları önerilmektedir.
