Periods and practicals: how to help your students

Periods are a practical barrier that can impact the academic progression of those who experience them, particularly in physically intensive courses such as chemistry degrees. As we work towards equality in education it is important to improve the environment for those with periods and providing easy access to free period products in bathrooms across educational institutions is a practical way to do this and reduce barriers to studying chemistry.
