MENOPAUSE AWARENESS
By Nicola Laver and Nicola Laver
The Law Society has called for more openness around the menopause, publishing guidance to mark Menopause Awareness Month. President Simon Davis said it is often a taboo subject and 'it is high time to normalise discussions around menopause in the workplace'. More than 60 per cent of new entrants to the profession are women. Davis added: 'We must ensure that the next generation of women does not leave the legal profession because they feel unsupported in managing their menopause symptoms at work.' 1 September 2020
