The Menopause Guidance for Councillors sets out some key principles which Local Authorities may wish to adopt to support Councillors experiencing the menopause. The objective is to ensure that: • Council officers understand the difficulties and anxieties of individuals currently going through this change • Councillors are treated with fairness and dignity whilst undergoing their duties by ensuring where possible, that those experiencing symptoms associated with the menopause receive appropriate support. • That menopause is not a barrier that prevents individuals from standing or re-standing for elected office. This guidance is to be adopted and implemented on a voluntary basis and confers no contractual, nor worker / employment status. The guidance can be amended or withdrawn at any time. Councillors continue to retain their status as office holders.
