Trustee Information
Under the Pensions Act trustees have the main responsibility for the administration of funded occupational pension schemes and compliance with the requirements that apply to these schemes. Under the Act, the Board has a responsibility to:
- provide guidance for trustees on their duties and responsibilities in relation to scheme administration
- issue codes of practice on specific aspects of trustees duties.
These responsibilities are a clear recognition of the central role which trustees have in ensuring that occupational pension schemes are properly administered, that scheme members’ pension rights are fully safeguarded and that they and their dependants ultimately receive their pensions.
The Pensions Board maintains a list of registered trustee training courses. Companies and organisations can apply to register a training course by completing an application form, and sending it, together with the proposed course documentation to The Pensions Board for consideration.
