Menopause Policy - Estyn

Menopause Policy


This policy is intended to raise awareness of the menopause amongst all employees and managers, helping to promote and create a fully inclusive and supporting working environment that for all employees impacted by the menopause.

We recognise that women experiencing the menopause, whether before, during or after this time of hormonal change and associated symptoms, may need additional consideration, support and
adjustments. We want colleagues to feel comfortable to raise issues about their symptoms and ask for workplace adjustments.

Whilst we may refer to women or use female pronouns throughout this policy, we understand that there may be other people that also experience menopausal-type symptoms, including transgender people, non-binary, and intersex employees. The support referred to in this guidance is intended for all employees affected by the menopause.
