Agenda item

Verbal update of the Senior Pensions Administrator.

The Acting Pension Manager updated the Board on a proposed training plan. The Board were reminded that there is also the Police Pension Board.  The intention is to consider the training needs of this Board alongside the Police Pension Board to produce a combined training plan. 

The Chairman questioned if there are other Committees at the City Corporation with LGPS-related responsibility that might benefit from training e.g. Investment Committee.  The range of people and experience on the Pension Board was noted and it was suggested training could be offered on a modular basis rather than holding a one day training session covering everything.  Members will then be able to select modules specific to their training needs.

The Acting Pension Manager advised the Group that he is in correspondence with Barnett Waddingham and that he will provide an update at the next meeting.

A Member stressed the need to get dates in the diary at the earliest opportunity.
