The Pension Schemes Bill - what will this mean for you?
Training webinar hosted by Sackers
Tune in for an overview of the key policy proposals in the Pension Schemes Bill and consider the implications for DB and DC arrangements.
Our speakers will consider whether the Government has risen to the challenge of seeking to deliver long-awaited reforms while at the same time putting in place a system that is fit for the future. They will also highlight the key considerations for trustees, employers and those involved in running occupational pension schemes.
