As part of the changes introduced to public sector schemes in April 2015, a Pension Board for the Teachers’ Pension Scheme has been established. The Pension Board will provide assurance on the governance of the Scheme under the framework introduced by The Public Service Pensions Act 2013.

Although the Board will provide additional layers of scrutiny and challenge, the Secretary of State retains overall responsibility and accountability for the scheme.

The Board appointments have been made based on individual knowledge, skills and experiences that can be used to improve the Teachers’ Pension Scheme for its members and employers. Members of the TPSPB represent the interests of all of the schemes’ beneficiaries, the participating employers and the Accounting Officer and not simply the interests of the organisations that nominated them.

The combined skill set of those appointed will be used to improve the Scheme irrespective of affiliations outside of the Board.
