Menopause Support at Camden Council

Our commitment to support through the Menopause

We understand that going through the menopause will be a significant time for you. For many it may also be something that isn’t easy to talk about it. However, we really hope and encourage you to trust us by having an open and honest conversation with your line manager.

We want to make it easier for people to deal with issues that they may face as part of the menopause in the workplace by:

• Breaking down the stigma associated with menopause,
• Ensuring that employees have access to the support that they may need. 

For all those going through the menopause we are committed to ensuring:

• That we provide a positive and supportive working environment and maintain a comfortable workplace
• That we support you by listening and responding to what you need and when you need it, recognising everyone’s circumstances and experiences are personal and unique to them
• That we support managers in our organisation to have the skills and knowledge to support you in the way you need
• That if you do experience any sort of bullying or harassment, we treat this seriously – we don’t accept the unacceptable here

Should you need to discuss issues around the Menopause in the workplace, you can have a confidential discussion with our programme leads – they will listen to you in confidence, providing advice and support, as well sign-post you to internal/external help available and resources.
