Higher & Further Education and the 2019 LGPS valuation

Join us for a live webinar, presented by Barnett Waddingham and BDO. Over the next few months, LGPS funds in England and Wales will be issuing employers (including many Higher & Further Education providers) with details of the contributions payable from April 1 2020. This follows the 2019 actuarial valuation. Because it is uncertain what benefits will be delivered, this valuation has been more complicated than usual. It also comes at a time when pension schemes in this sector are providing other challenges for employers. We have three expert speakers to help you navigate these changes: - Paul Hamilton, Head of Higher Education at Barnett Waddingham, will take an in depth look at what to expect as we move forwards and how this could affect HE providers - Melanie Durrant, Public Sector Consultant at Barnett Waddingham, will talk in detail about some of the key issues surrounding the 2019 valuations, including the impact of the “McCloud” and “Sargeant” judgements - Mark Costello, Associate Director, Pensions Advisory at BDO will discuss how HE & FE institutions can engage with LGPS funds on their employer covenant and how this could help discussions around contribution requirements
