Rachel Howe, Head of Governance presented for review and approval a draft workplan and training plan for the Board for the period 2017/18.  Details of the training record for the Board during 2016/17 were also submitted.

 

Referring to the draft work plan for 2017/18, Paul Sheehan queried whether any of the policy reviews scheduled for July 2017 were more fundamental to the operation of the Fund and whether the list of policies to be reviewed were in the right order of risk.  Rachel Brothwood, Director of Pensions advised that a number of the policies were linked and were scheduled based on the timing of the cycle.

 

Chris West queried whether the funding strategies would be agreed by the time of the Board’s review of them.  Rachel Brothwood, Director of Pensions reported that the role of the Board was to provide oversight and assurance.  Generally the policies would be submitted and agreed by the Pensions Committee prior to the Board reviewing them.  The Head of Governance added that the Board could also review the process of the decision making on the policies.

 

Regarding the attendance and training records for 2016/17, the Director of Pensions asked Board members to contact the Fund if their training /attendance records needed updating. Sharon Campion and Adrian Turner reported on areas within their training logs that needed to be updated.

  1. That the proposed workplan of the Board for the period 2017/18 be approved.
  2. That the proposed training plan for 2017/18 be approved.
  3. That the training record for the Local Pensions Board for the year 2016/2017 be noted.
