Announcements
An Garda Síochána is pleased to announce that the Menopause in the Workplace Awareness Programme officially launched on 1st of September 2026. Developed by the Garda National Health & Wellbeing Office in partnership with Catherine O'Keeffe, The Wellness Warrior, and building on our own Menopause Guidance Document published in February 2023, the programme offers bite-sized online workshops via the AGS Portal, alongside in-person Menopause Cafés taking place in each region. The programme sits within the Your Health in the Workplace pillar of our Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2026-2030, reflecting our continued commitment to supporting personnel through every phase of change.
New Resource: Movements That Matter - quick, evidence-based movements to help reduce MSK injury risk. The Movements That Matter toolkit gives you simple, practical movements to look after yourself — exercises you can do in uniform, in a stationary car, at your desk, or outside.
