Board survey: Understanding diversity of representation and Peer Support insight

On 18th August 2025, the Board launched a short survey to seek information from LGPS administering authorities on:

• The diversity of representation within Pension Committees and Boards
• Views on Peer Support within the Scheme

Diversity and representation are recognised as important factors in ensuring governing bodies reflect the communities they serve and benefit from a wide range of skills and experience. The survey also aligns with good practice expectations set out by The Pensions Regulator’s General Code.

Responses will help inform the Board’s ongoing work to promote best practice and develop guidance for funds. Information provided will be held securely and only reported in aggregate at Scheme level.

The survey has been issued directly to all pension fund managers and should be completed once per fund by Monday 8 September 2025. If you have any queries about the survey, please contact the Secretariat team.
