<p>The period products scheme launched in January 2020, and has most recently been
extended until July 2024. Take up of the scheme is monitored regularly by the department
and our supplier, phs. Within the first two years of the scheme, 94% of secondary
schools and 90% of post-16 organisations had ordered at least once. These organisations
have older students and therefore are more likely to have a higher proportion of students
in scope, compared to primary schools.</p><p>The department publishes statistics regarding
the scheme’s operation, which can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/period-products-scheme-management-information"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/period-products-scheme-management-information</a>.</p><p>The
department is considering opportunities to publish further management information
in the future, as well as the need for further research into the scheme to evaluate
its impact.</p>
