Menopause survey: West Mercia Fed members reminded to take part

16 November 2023

There’s still time for West Mercia Police Federation members to take part in the second national menopause survey.

The ‘EveryonePause’ survey was launched on World Menopause Day to help improve understanding and support. It runs until the end of the month.

Branch chair Barry Horton said: “I hope the results of this survey give a snapshot of how the police service is implementing policies that help those experiencing the menopause while also identifying best practice and also where improvements are needed.

“Please take the time to fill out the survey and share your views and experiences.”

National Federation women’s lead Hayley Aley, who is taking the lead with the survey, also urged as many members as possible to take part in the online survey.

She said: “Senior leaders have a responsibility for the welfare and wellbeing of their workforce, and to support individuals appropriately when they need it.

“The purpose of this survey is to give us the evidence we can provide to leaders to action what needs to change, to praise those that are getting it right, to share some good practice and to ensure forces provide the right support and guidance to all.”

The survey is a joint project being conducted by researchers at the Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW), and on behalf of PFEW, UNISON, the Police Superintendents’ Association, the National Police Chiefs’ Council, the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Civil Nuclear Constabulary.

Take part in the survey.
