Practice principle
Make participation easier without making assumptions about the woman.
Facilities
- Drinking water is readily available.
- Toilets are clean, usable and include sanitary disposal.
- Ventilation/temperature can be managed where reasonably possible.
- Seating/rest options are available during long events.
- A private/multi-use welfare space is available where feasible.
Event design
- Schedules are communicated clearly.
- Reasonable breaks are possible.
- Late finishes and long waits are considered in welfare planning.
- Participants can use appropriate clothing/layers where rules permit.
Privacy
- There is a private route for requesting an adjustment.
- General forms do not ask menopause status without a justified purpose.
- Staff record only what they need to deliver an agreed adjustment.
Culture
- No age/menopause ridicule.
- No assumption that concentration, memory or competence is reduced.
- No assumption that women want social-only provision.
- Competitive, coaching, officiating and leadership routes remain visible.
Ten minimum checks
