At Oxford Brookes, we are promoting awareness and support for individuals experiencing menopause in the workplace. We understand the profound impact that menopause can have on individuals' professional lives, and we are committed to creating an environment that fosters understanding, empathy, and practical accommodations. 

Our approach involves providing resources, training, and networks to ensure that all employees feel valued, respected, and supported throughout their menopausal journey. We recognise that menopause is a natural part of life for a significant number of colleagues, and by normalising conversations and implementing supportive policies, we aim to cultivate a workplace culture that embraces diversity and promotes well-being.

Oxford Brookes has taken proactive steps to adopt the Standard BS30416. By aligning with this internationally recognised standard, we demonstrate our commitment to best practice and our own continuous improvement as an employer and as a University, in supporting individuals experiencing menstruation and menopause. Through adherence to the Standard, we ensure that our policies, practices, and accommodations meet the highest level of quality and inclusivity and foster a community environment that prioritises the well-being and dignity of all.
