Duty to Pause Award of Excellence
Evidence-led recognition for meaningful, menopause-informed organisational change.
Recognition earned through evidence
The Duty to Pause Award of Excellence recognises organisations that can demonstrate meaningful, measurable change in menopause-informed professional practice.
Recognition is not awarded for course completion alone. Evidence is independently assessed across leadership, policy, supervision, communication, recording and everyday professional decision-making.
How recognition is awarded
Organisations progress through a clear, evidence-led assessment process. Recognition is based on demonstrated changes in professional practice and is not awarded automatically through course completion.
-
Register your interest. Begin with a short conversation about your organisation, workforce and aims.
-
Complete the learning programme. Relevant staff undertake Duty to Pause and use the accompanying organisational tools.
-
Gather and submit evidence. Show how learning has influenced leadership, policy, supervision, communication, recording and everyday decision-making.
-
Evidence is reviewed against the published criteria. The assessment determines whether recognition is awarded and, where the required standard is met, the appropriate level.
-
Recognition is valid for two years, with reassessment required for renewal. Material organisational changes or significant concerns may require earlier review.
