Sunnyhill is a church that is deeply passionate about being a safe place for people to experience the presence of Jesus and build strong relationships in our community. We recognise the need to provide a safe and caring environment for children, young people and adults. Although Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, as a church we take our duty seriously.

We prioritise Safer Recruitment in how we recruit both staff and volunteers at Sunnyhill and all those who work and serve within our Nxt Gen teams must undergo a police check (using the Disclosure and Barring Service).

We acknowledge that children, young people and adults can be the victims of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and neglect.

If you have any safeguarding concerns, please contact the relevant person below.
