Pupils: Period Poverty
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of the impact of period poverty on educational attainment in England.
Answered by Stephen Morgan
We do not hold data on the impact of period poverty on educational attainment in England.
The Period Products Scheme removes periods as a barrier to accessing education and addresses pupils being unable to afford period products. Since its launch in January 2020, 99% of secondary schools and 87% of post-16 organisations in England have placed orders through the scheme.
