Every four years the Teachers’ Pension Scheme undergoes a valuation, along with all unfunded public service pension schemes. The Government Actuary’s Department is responsible for the valuation. The purpose is to protect members of the scheme. It assesses the cost of pensions being provided to members and determines the appropriate level of employer contribution moving forward.
