Pupils: Period Poverty
- 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.
- Answer
-
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.
