The board works with East Sussex County Council in its role as administrating authority of the Fund. The board’s remit is to ensure that your pension scheme is being run well and that you get the best service.

Pension Board members must maintain knowledge of the LGPS and pensions in general. They receive training to help with this need. This is to comply with regulations set by the Government and industry best practice.

The board must be equally split between employer representatives and scheme member representatives. We have also appointed an independent expert to oversee the smooth running of the board.

Scheme member and employer representatives are appointed to the board for a term of up to 4 years, with an option for an extension.
