we want sanitary products available in our school toilets. this is because some people may go to unsafe measures in order to control their menstrual cycle due to a lack of product availability
we did a petition within our community and 76.2% of people with periods said they would benefit from this

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.

Decisions about access to free sanitary products in school toilets are a matter for individual schools, not the Government or Parliament.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
