Peer-led Menstrual Education
We have worked with teachers and pupils to trial and provide resources to facilitate peer-led menstrual education in your school.
Guidance for peer-led learning
This guidance for peer-led menstrual education was created to help schools implement effective peer-support initiatives. Based on insights from our Pupils' Voice research study, pupils highlighted the importance of peer-to-peer learning, where older pupils mentor younger ones to foster open discussions, reduce stigma, and improve access to accurate menstrual health information.
​
The resource provides practical steps for recruiting and training peer educators, along with structured activities, presentations, and tools to support the development of peer-led programs in schools.
​
By complementing traditional menstrual health lessons, this approach empowers young people to share knowledge, build confidence, and create a more supportive school environment.

This video shows how you can develop peer-led period education in your school. The resources shown in the video are available below.
01
Peer-led co-design session
We have created a session, including activities and resources to help you co-design peer led menstrual education with pupils in your school.
02
Complementary resources
We have designed a quadrant activity to gather insights from pupils on the key elements needed for delivering peer-led menstrual education in their school.
Additionally, we have developed a co-design card game to help pupils plan and decide how to implement peer-led menstrual education effectively.
To facilitate these two complementary activities, you will need to download and print the specially designed quadrant template and card set.
