Schools: Sanitary Products
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if her Department will ensure that menstrual products provided through the free school programme are (a) organic and (b) reusable.
Answered by Olivia Bailey
Nobody should have to miss out on education because of their period, which is why the department provides free period products to girls and women in their place of study through the Period Products Scheme. The scheme offers a broad range of products for organisations to choose from, including certified organic and chemical-free tampons and pads, as well as reusable options such as period pants.
