Pensions Policy

The Board has a statutory responsibility to provide advice to the Minister for Social Protection on pension matters. Drawing on its partnership composition, the Board plays an important role in the policy-making arena by:

• providing expert technical advice to Government on complex pension issues
• using the knowledge gained from regulatory activity to provide timely and accurate guidance so as to strengthen pension provision and security and through shaping legislation accordingly
• developing new sources of information, monitoring progress against coverage targets and generating awareness around these.
