The City of London Police Pensions Board met on Wednesday 10 June 2026 to review updates on the administration of the Police Pension Scheme, consider the scheme's risk register, and discuss the review of activities for the previous financial year. The meeting also included an update from the Scheme Manager.

Administrator's Update

The Board was scheduled to receive an update from the Chamberlain regarding the administration of the City of London Police Pension Scheme. This report was intended to provide general information on various aspects of the scheme's administration since the last meeting on 4 February 2026. Key areas covered were expected to include the annual schedule of events for the Pensions Scheme, details on scheme record keeping, and any recent breaches of the law related to the Police Pension Scheme. The report was also to address audit reports concerning the scheme's administration, and updates on the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR privacy notices. Furthermore, information was to be provided on the Pensions Administration System, including the rollout of the Online Member Portal, and the ongoing implementation of the McCloud Remedy and its associated legal challenges. Updates on the Pensions Dashboards initiative and training for Board members were also anticipated.

Risk Register Review

A report from the Chamberlain was scheduled to present a review of the Risk Register for the Police Pensions Board. This register details the key risks identified by the Board, along with risk scores indicating the likelihood and potential impact of these risks, and the proposed mitigation strategies. The report was expected to highlight recommended changes to the register, including a proposed decrease in the target risk for the McCloud Legal Case and a reduction in the current risk rating for Pension Fraud. The report also aimed to ensure that the existing register captured all material risks and that appropriate control measures were in place.

Review of Activities (1 April 2025 - 31 March 2026)

The Board was scheduled to consider a report summarising the activities of the Police Pensions Board for the period 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. This report was intended to be submitted to the CoL Police Authority Board. It was expected to outline the Board's role in assisting the Scheme Manager in ensuring the efficient and effective governance and administration of the Police Pension Scheme. The report was to detail the Board's activities, including the review of working practices of the City of London Police Pensions Office, monitoring and updating the Board's Risk Register, and the ongoing training of Board Members. It was also to cover the administration statistics, the handling of Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure (IDRP) complaints, and updates on data protection and breaches of pension law. The report was to provide specific information on the implementation of the McCloud Remedy and the establishment of the Pension Services Delivery Board.

Scheme Manager Update

An update from the Commissioner of Police was scheduled to provide information on Scheme Manager activities for the period 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2026. This report was expected to detail the number of queries and complaints received, categorised by theme, and their resolution status. It was to highlight recurring issues such as transfer of data between forces and the production of pension forecasts. The report was also to cover national updates, including the implementation of a new member contribution structure, and other updates such as a pre-retirement webinar held in January 2026.

The meeting also included agenda items for the approval of public minutes from the previous meeting held on 4 February 2026, and for questions on matters relating to the work of the Board. A motion was scheduled to be considered for the exclusion of the public for subsequent agenda items, which included the approval of non-public minutes and updates with non-public appendices.
