The Outwood Family of Schools’ menopause policy and guidance ensures staff are informed on the subject and supported through it.

Outwood Grange Academies Trust has worked with staff and unions to develop the policy and produce the ‘Let’s Talk’ guidance.

A spokesperson for the Outwood Family said:

“For every ten women experiencing menopausal symptoms, six report that it has a negative impact on their work. With the right support, there’s no need for women to press pause on their career during this natural transition.

“We provide training with staff across our schools to ensure people feel comfortable discussing this with colleagues, so we can give the right support at the right time to those who need it.”
