 Free tampons for schools
Free tampons are available to schools via a Government scheme to support those pupils who are struggling to access and afford tampons and pads. Schools can access the scheme through the Personal Hygiene Services (PHS) portal, where you will need to log in or sign up. This has information about how to place the right orders and if schools need an alternative, they can also phone PHS to place their order.
You will need to provide:
- your name
- your organisation’s telephone number
- your organisation’s postcode
- your organisation’s URN and/or UKPRN
 Free welcome back to school packs from the PSHE Association
Schools are starting this academic year with significant and unique challenges. Whatever their individual experiences, it is likely all pupils will need reintroduction to learning routines and support with rebuilding their self-esteem, wellbeing, confidence and learning potential.
These packs from the PSHE Association will support primary and secondary schools to develop a transition strategy for PSHE education, as part of a whole school reintegration approach that safeguards young people and promotes wellbeing.
 Better Health, Lets Do This nutrition resources
To support people to make healthy changes to their lives, Public Health England’s Better Health campaign provides a variety of tools and apps to help you make healthier food choices, become more active and prevent future weight gain.
One of these tools is the NHS 12-week weight loss plan, which provides engaging content that can be personalised and tailored to the goals and needs of the individual.
