50.1.      The Board considered the Annual Training Plan for the ESPF.

50.2.      The Chair suggested that the Board might like to have single, hour-long training sessions at the rate of around three per quarter. This would ensure high turnout and engagement, which is more difficult when training sessions are all day or take place after a lengthy Board meeting. He suggested initial topics include the McCloud Judgement, £95k cap, and admissions and cessations policy, and he asked that they be recorded in case Members cannot attend.

50.3.      The Board RESOLVED to:

1) note the report; and

2) agree to request training sessions are provided at hour-long events approximately three times per quarter.

32.1.      The Board considered a report on the Annual Training Plan & Training Strategy for the ESPF.

32.2.      IC advised that the training strategy and plan would be made available once training needs assessments had been completed by all Pension Committee members. This would ensure the plan best represents the needs of the Board and Committee members. 

32.3.      The Board RESOLVED to:

1) note the report

2) request a report on the training strategy and plan at the next meeting; and

3) recommend to the Pension Committee members that they complete the training needs assessment at their earliest convenience.
