About the board
In 2015, the Teachers’ Pension Scheme Pension Board was established to offer extra assurance to members, employers, taxpayers, and the government. The board provides evidence that the scheme is being administered effectively and efficiently. It also offers assurance that it is run in accordance with rules that were established with the conception of the scheme.
There are four sub-committees on the board, including:
- Service Delivery and Maintenance of Data
- Information to Members and Communications
- Managing Risk and Internal Controls
- Commercial, which focuses on the service that will be required post-2021
Focal points
The Board recently released an executive summary, which aims to explain some of the work it has done over the past year. There have been many areas of activity and challenge. Of direct interest to teachers is how well the scheme communicates with members. Members may also be interested in the schemes’ engagement strategy and that bereavement casework progresses promptly. These are all matters that impact teachers, day in, day out.
It is encouraging to note that the Board reports a productive year of operation, as it seeks to direct the scheme toward the future.
