Are you a leader or line manager in a Secondary School? Can you help one of our colleagues by completing the survey leedsbeckettpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
Are you a secondary school leader or line manager? Do you have responsibility for policy and/or involvement in supporting women teachers during their menopause transition? My name is Debbie Rigby, PhD Psychology researcher at Leeds Beckett University. I am also a retired secondary school science teacher and I am investigating what policies and guidance are available to support and inform women teachers during their menopause transition in the UK. This short 10 minute survey investigates what policies and guidance are currently available in your school and gives you the opportunity to share your experiences, good practice and challenges you may face. For more detailed information and to access the survey click the link or scan the QR code. Any questions? Please feel free to contact me with any questions: D.Rigby2946@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk
