The Government accepts recommendation 6. The government is committed to ensuring that all pupils have access to period products when they need them. The Period Product Scheme, which provides free period products to schools and colleges, has seen high take-up rates since its introduction. The government will investigate the reasons why some schools and colleges have not participated in the scheme and will actively encourage them to do so. This will include targeted outreach and providing information about the benefits of the scheme. The government also recognises the importance of extending access to period products beyond schools and colleges. The refreshed Women’s Health Strategy will explore options for expanding access points to other settings, such as community centres and youth clubs, to ensure that all women and girls have access to the products they need. The government is committed to extending the Period Product Scheme indefinitely to ensure continued access to free period products for pupils across England.
