The Department for Education and the Department of Health and Social Care should work with expert stakeholders to ensure the range of guidance being produced to support the introduction of the new RSHE curricula in September 2026 reflects the diversity of experiences of menstrual wellbeing and needs of students. Schools will need guidance on teaching menstrual and gynaecological health to pupils from different racial and ethnic 69 backgrounds and to those with disabilities. Teaching materials should reflect a broad range of lived experiences so that students from a diverse range of backgrounds can feel represented and teaching can be tailored to their needs.
