Our period-friendly scale 

This is a scale to help you assess how period-friendly your organisation is and supports you to make simple improvements. We will award you ‘Working Towards’, ‘Bronze’, ‘Silver’ or ‘Gold’ accreditation.  

We are all about empowering people to make change happen - so why not get your service users, customers or students to fill out the assessment? Most importantly, ask them what they think and what they would like to see change!

What will you get out of it? 
This is a simple, easy-to-follow guide on how to improve things for people who menstruate at your organisation. You can use it as a communication tool to find out what needs to change and to help create a more open and inclusive environment. 

Some very simple changes can really increase productivity, engagement and concentration of the people accessing your organisation.

Just the action of completing the initial assessment will open up new conversations and discussions about menstruation and start to help create a more inclusive environment at your organisation. 
Whether your organisation is a school, a homeless shelter or a business, using this guide to make some simple changes can really help. 

Could things be better for people who menstruate at your school, workplace or organisation?  

Would you like to make some simple changes that show you care about people who access your organisation? 

Would you like to find out how well you are supporting people who menstruate?    

Why should you bother doing this? 
You may think that periods don’t really impact your organisation and so this seems like a low priority for you. However, over 50% of the population have periods. Many of the people we have talked to about their school or work environment say there is a huge amount of embarrassment, that it is not easy to say you feel unwell due to your period, or to change your sanitary product without hiding it out of sight on a run to the bathroom. We want this to change so that everyone can feel comfortable, because if they don’t feel comfortable they won’t be happy.
