Period Positive Curriculum Guide, Pledge, and Award: Call to Action

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

Period Positive is gathering partner support for the Curriculum Guide, Pledge, and Award frameworks as practical standards of good practice for menstruation education. This is a timely opportunity to show that inclusive, cross-curricular menstruation education already exists, is ready to be supported, and should inform the delivery of the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy.

Please use this form to review our resources (see the bottom of the page), let us know whether you or your organisation could help by piloting the Award, mapping the Curriculum Guide to existing work, endorsing the approach, or staying involved in future conversations.

I would like to pilot earning the Period Positive Award in my school, organisation or setting.

I would like to map the Period Positive Curriculum Guide against my existing teaching materials, curriculum, training or resources to show what we already cover and where the gaps are.

I would like to use the Period Positive Pledge as a standard of good practice in my school, organisation or project.

I would be willing to endorse this work in a letter to Bridget Phillipson, Secretary of State for Education and Minister for Women and Equalities and request that the capital Period Positive programme of study is included in the new national curriculum planned to be published in Spring 2027.

I would be willing to endorse this framework as an effective evaluation tool and success measure for schools in a letter to the presenters of the renewed strategy, Professor Dame Lesley Regan, Women’s Health Ambassador for England, Baroness Gillian Merron, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Women’s Health and Mental Health, and Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

I would be willing to endorse this work in a letter to Kate Lancaster, Chief Executive Officer of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists / RCOG.

I would be willing to endorse this work in a letter to Sarah Owen MP, Women and Equalities Committee Chair, in response to the 12th Report, Menstrual health of girls and young women, where the Period Positive approach is referenced favourably several times.
