Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 1:33 pm on 22 March 2017.
As I think I already said, in answer to the earlier question, poverty takes different forms, in different places, with different people, in different ways, at different times. And we have to, as a Government, ensure that we don’t simply respond to issues, but that we are proactive in ensuring that girls attending schools in Wales are not put at any disadvantage at all, and do not face embarrassment, do not face any difficulties at all, in accessing education. And if there are any issues with sanitary products at all, then we will ensure that all steps possible are taken, and are taken proactively, by schools and ourselves and others—other appropriate organisations and individuals—to ensure that these problems are identified and solved.
