We asked

The Department for Education published a consultation asking for views on the proposed draft regulations to make changes to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS) member contribution rates, Fair deal provisions and a few minor miscellaneous amendments to ensure the TPS regulations remain up to date.

You said

A total of 187 responses were received from individuals and organisations.

We did

The Department has looked closely at all the comments raised and the draft regulations will now form the basis of the final regulations. The draft regulations have been laid in Parliament and will be implemented on 1 April 2025.

Overview

We are seeking views on the proposed amendments to the Teachers' Pension Scheme Regulations. 

Why your views matter

Changes to the TPS regulations are necessary to adjust the member contribution rates following the most recent valuation and to update the existing Fair Deal provisions to include further education colleges. Other minor amendments also need to be made to ensure the regulations are up to date and accurately reflect the Department’s policy.

The consultation seeks responses from those likely to be affected by the proposed regulations.
