Have your say on free period products
Free period products such as tampons, pads and reusable products will soon be more wildly available for anyone in Argyll and Bute who needs them.
Argyll and Bute Council is seeking views on how to make sure everyone who uses period products, or who will use them in the future, can access this service in a way that suits them.
The free provision of period products consultation will help shape the existing service and identify any further opportunities to help people who require free products.
The consultation is available on the council website at argyll-bute.gov.uk/consultations/free-period-product-provision and closes on Friday March 4.
Funded by the Scottish Government, the initiative aims to ensure that products are available so those who need them in a dignified way, and that everyone who menstruates can have the products they need.
‘I’m proud that Argyll and Bute already makes period products available across all council buildings and schools,’ said Councillor Yvonne McNeilly, policy lead for education. ‘The consultation will help shape how we build on this service and deliver products, in a way that suits anyone who needs them.
‘Please do get in touch and let us know your feedback.’
