CPD accredited Menopause Champion Training

CPD accredited Menopause Champion Training

Think Mental Health Champions but for menopause

Menopause is increasingly landing on HR desks not because HR should be the primary support but because many employees don’t feel comfortable speaking directly to their manager.

Managers worry about saying the wrong thing.
Employees worry about being judged, dismissed, or treated differently.
And menopause-related issues can quietly escalate into HR as the default “safe space”.

Menopause Champion roles are designed to relieve that pressure.

Much like Mental Health Champions, Menopause Champions provide a visible, trained, neutral first point of contact helping organisations move menopause support out of silence and crisis conversations, and into everyday workplace culture.

Why organisations introduce Menopause Champions

Menopause Champions help organisations by:

● Offering a safe first step for employees who don’t feel ready to speak to their manager

● Supporting early conversations and appropriate signposting to managers, HR, occupational health, GP support or external resources

● Preventing menopause-related issues escalating into absence, performance concerns or formal processes

● Reducing the emotional and practical load sitting with HR

● Supporting more confident, consistent responses across teams

● Limiting the impact of menopause-related challenges at work and at home

● Helping menopause support become embedded in culture not just written into policy

When implemented well, Menopause Champions strengthen existing systems rather than replacing them.

What this training covers

This CPD-accredited training equips Menopause Champions to:

● Understand menopause as a fluctuating, whole-body experience

● Recognise why employees may avoid manager conversations

● Hold supportive, boundaried conversations safely and confidently

● Understand their role clearly and where their responsibility ends

● Support early signposting without absorbing or owning complex cases

● Act as a bridge between employee, manager and HR

● Contribute to positive culture change through language, confidence and visibility

The role of a Menopause Champion (and what it is not)

● A connector who supports early, appropriate conversations

● Part of a wider, structured menopause approach
