Client feedback


Clare Owen has been a really excellent scheme secretary
The trustee training course lecturers' explanations and willingness to answer questions were most valuable - even silly ones - although I have learnt there are no 'silly questions' that trustees should ask.

There’s a lot of noise just now about data minimisation and many question whether you should really send scheme information to personal email addresses, even if they are password protected. Pension trustees also need to consider how far they need to worry about possible data issues by other data controller. This might make it a sensible time to take a look at how trustee meeting packs and papers are produced for your pension scheme.
