Consultancy and Collaborations
I am always open to consultancy work and collaborations, so do not hesitate to get in touch if you are looking for expertise in the areas of menstruation, menopause, or gender/ health inequalities. I can advise on education, sustainability, communication, social media, advocacy, and journalism relating to health and gender.
​
I have worked closely with government, organisations, and schools in the areas of menstrual health and menopause. These collaborations have improved policy, inclusion in the workplace and communities, and menstrual education.
​
See below for some of my recent collaborations/consultancy projects.
​
BS30416: Menstruation, Menstrual Health and Menopause in the Workplace - A Guide
​
I chaired the committee which created this groundbreaking standard which is being used in 100s of organisations worldwide. I also co-wrote the guidance, focussing on areas such as inclusive workplace culture, allyship, and sensitive conversations.
​
Our committee won the 2024 BSI award for social impact.
Primary Menstrual Education
(Lessons for Years 5 and 6)
&
Blood!
This project is a collaboration with Belszki (teacher and feminist theatre maker).
​
Drawing on findings from my research with 77 teenagers and Belszki’s expertise in teaching and the writing, production, and performance of research-informed theatre, this project aims to improve knowledge about menstrual health, reduce menstrual stigma, and empower people of all genders to talk about menstruation in mixed gender settings. To engage with audiences of different ages, this project created a primary school curriculum for years 5 and 6 (aged 9-11) and a comedy show, Blood!, that is targeted at individuals and organisations that support young people (e.g. teachers, city councillors, NGOs, charities and parents).
​
So far, the five period lessons have been taught at one school and have already had a positive impact on the children and the school's culture around menstruation. You can download the impact report on this website from the 'menstrual education' page or get in touch with me directly.
​
Blood! has been performed in Sheffield and we will announce any further dates here.
