Perimenopause in school is tough. It's not just one tough day, one tough week or even one tough term. It's an additional burden every day for weeks and months and years that can wear away at us until it all feels just too hard to do. The right support stops that happening. #Edusky #EduskyUK

1/2 How should schools support staff through menopause and menstruation? If you have more than 250 staff then it's all about the new law in April. If you have less, then it's still a good model. But there's also the British Standard. helenclare.substack.com/p/british-st... #Edusky #EduskyUK

1/2 Perimenopause and menopause are so tough if you have to struggle through alone and in silence - and that so often happens in schools. Once staff feel that they can talk about it - and listen to others - it makes it so much easier to cope.
