Report of Chief Officer (People and Resources)

That the progress being made on the development of the Administration and

Communication Strategies be noted.

The Pensions Administration Manager introduced a report to provide an update on the development of the administration and communication strategies.  She provided background information and advised that a draft joint administration and communications strategy was presented to the Pension Board in October 2015.  A number of amendments had been made and that the strategy had been separated into two distinct documents.

The Pensions Administration Manager explained that feedback from the meeting of a Communications Focus Group meeting which had been held last week would be incorporated into the draft Communications Strategy.  It was anticipated that consultation with employers on the draft strategies would take place during January 2016.  Subject to the outcome of the consultation exercise the Strategies would be submitted to the next meeting of the Pension Fund Committee for approval.

RESOLVED:

That the progress being made on the development of the Administration and

Communication Strategies be noted.
