One of the key outcomes of the Employer Review was for Teachers’ Pensions to take over the responsibility for providing starter and leaver information directly to members.

In the next school calendar year, we’ll be directly contacting all members who are starting or leaving the Scheme, where they have a My Pension Online account or we have an email address. 

We consider ‘starters’ to be members who:-

• Are just starting their teaching career and are completely new to the Scheme
• Transition members who have moved to the career average arrangement after their tapered protection ends
• Have changed employer
• Have previously been in the Scheme for less than 2 years but have had a repayment of their contributions.

A ‘leaver’ is a member who has left all eligible employment in the Scheme (a withdrawal indicator for all employments).

All members will receive an email and information bespoke to their starting or leaving circumstances as well as new starter and leaver pack.

We’ll be providing more information through this bulletin, but it’s really important for us to have member email details and for you to encourage members to sign up to My Pension Online.
