Period dignity
All local authorities must make sure period products (such as pads, tampons and reusable cups) can easily be picked up free of charge for anyone who needs to use them. This is under the Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Act 2021.
Each local authority must also write, having consulted with individuals, groups and organisations, a statement describing how it plans to comply with the act.
