Supporting schools to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people
Free period products for schools - are your pupils able to access these?
Monday 30th November 2020
Did you know that schools and colleges in England can access free period products through the government scheme?
Details can be found here on the DfE website.
Awareness and uptake of this scheme is still relatively low amongst eligible schools (41% across England).
Students do need these products – 1 in 10 young girls in the UK have been unable to access period products and this increased to 3 in 10 since the pandemic.
If you’re having trouble accessing the period product scheme please do get in touch with Simon from Phs: SimonBurton@phs.co.uk or give him a call: 01827 255500 option 3.
