We’ve received several queries regarding seminars for teachers approaching retirement, which are being offered by ‘Teachers’ Planning Retirement’, the ‘Teachers Retirement Agency’ as well as other providers.

Teachers’ Pensions don’t provide advice services and these seminars are not being delivered by Teachers’ Pensions, nor do we appoint companies to deliver the seminars on our behalf. The only member presentations we deliver are through our Employer Relationship Managers and in partnership with the Prudential.

If you receive any queries from members, please advise them that these are not Teachers’ Pensions events and that we do not charge for any seminars that we deliver. If members are seeking independent advice they may contact their respective union or look at the following:-
