Infertility Support in Schools

Supporting Staff.

Retaining Women.

Breaking the Silence.

Infertility affects one in six couples, yet in schools it remains largely invisible — unspoken, unsupported, and frequently misunderstood. For many teachers, the experience of infertility involves not only medical trauma, loss, and exhaustion, but also the daily pressure of continuing to perform professionally while grieving privately.This silence has consequences.

 

Research shows that women in their 30s are the largest demographic leaving the teaching profession, with reproductive health pressures and motherhood inequality playing a significant role in staff attrition and wellbeing. Schools cannot afford to treat infertility as a niche issue — it is a workplace justice issue, and a retention issue.This free webinar brings together educators, leaders, and advocates to explore how schools can respond with compassion, policy, and meaningful support.
