Conclusion
The new RSHE guidance on menstrual and gynaecological health needs to recognise the diversity of experiences of menstruation and menstrual health. Many, including Deaf BSL signers and children with learning disabilities, will also face communication barriers to effective menstrual education. Girls from different racial and ethnic groups and disabled and Deaf girls can face a broad range of different cultural, social, linguistic and cognitive barriers to understanding their periods and menstrual health and seeking help when necessary.
