Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether his Department plans to extend the free period product scheme for schools into 2022.

The government fully funds access to free period products in schools and colleges across England for students that need them. This scheme enables all students to participate fully in education by making period products available as and when they are needed.

The Period Product scheme launched in January 2020, and it was continued into 2021. The Department for Education will make information available about any extensions or changes to the scheme in due course.
