<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 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>
