Pensions updates Peter Dearden
Teachers’ Pensions update Teachers’ Pension Scheme valuation: Impact on employer contribution rate Background: The latest national valuation was completed this summer, later than originally planned. Prior to completion it was anticipated some employer increase would occur, from 2019. Due to the lateness of the valuation outcome it was also thought any increase would be delayed until September rather than April 2019.
Teachers’ Pensions Valuation continued… In September, HM Treasury produced draft directions. These included: • Employer contribution rate of 16.48% will be increasing to an estimatedemployer rate of 23.6%, until 31 March 2023. • Implementation will be 1 September 2019 (rather than 1 April 2019) due to the delay in the announcement. • DfE fund available for the financial year 2019/20 to help schools and academies meet the additional costs. • Consultation on Teachers pension announced on 29 October 2018.
Teachers’ Pensions • Scheme members can also: • Check their Benefit Statement – paper versions are no longer produced • Update their personal details • Complete online pension forms – e.g. both retirement and opt-out forms are now only available online • Access personalised tools and calculators • Retired/ re-employed members can view their pension payslips and P60’s Please continue to encourage teachers to register with TP for “My Pension Online” via the TP website: www.teacherspensions.co.uk

Occupational Health and EAP Service Munira Kachwala Head of HR Commissioning
Changing landscape of the world of work • Aging Demographics • Mental Health and wellbeing high on the agenda • Move from disease to Health Model • Move from opinion to proactive value added
At Risk/Red Flag system for EAP Workplace Wellness operates an At Risk/Red Flag system by which they manage risk to those accessing our services. When an individual is identified as posing a significant risk to themselves or others (either through self-harm or other means) they will conduct a full risk assessment, escalate the case to their team of senior counsellors and case managers, and provide appropriate support. This can involve close monitoring, proactive call backs through to alerting the appropriate authorities such as: their GP, social services or the emergency services, and on rare occasions, their employer if a risk is likely to impact the work place (e.g. alcohol or drug use within a safety sensitive environment). In the majority of cases, however, a Red Flag should not be a cause for concern for the organisation.
