Purpose of the Board

The Public Service Pensions Act 2013 introduced key provisions on scheme governance in relation to the Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (FPS) and other public service pension schemes.

As a result the Fire Authority as a scheme manager for the FPS is required to have in place a local pension board.

The role of the board is to assist the scheme manager in complying with all the legislative requirements making sure the scheme is being effectively and efficiently governed and managed.
