Female teachers at an academy trust will be allowed to work part time to cope with the effects of the menopause in a raft of new measures to help them.
The Gosport and Fareham Multi Academy Trust (GFM) consisting of five schools on the south coast of England, has issued guidance on how to support staff going through the stage.
Staff will also be helped by having fans in classrooms to help combat hot flushes and toilet breaks during lessons when needed.
Classes will be kept cool while staff will also be given time off to attend medical appointments and have the opportunity to work part time while coping with symptoms.
