The Pensions Board of Hackney Council is scheduled to meet on Wednesday 28 January 2026. The meeting agenda includes updates on various projects and workstreams, a review of previous committee papers, and a discussion on training.

Project and Work Updates

The board is scheduled to receive updates on several ongoing projects and workstreams. These include progress on the External Audit for the Pension Fund, which has commenced with auditors noting the administration service transition to LPPA. An update on the Admin Project Migration is also listed, alongside progress on the Data Improvement Plan and the Risk Register. Furthermore, the board will receive an update on the Fit for the Future initiative.

Review of Pensions Committee Papers

A significant portion of the meeting is dedicated to reviewing papers from previous Pensions Committee meetings. These include documents from 23 September 2025, 5 November 2025, 25 November 2025, 10 December 2025, and 21 January 2026.

Training Update

A discussion item is scheduled regarding training for board members. This will be a discussion-only item with no accompanying paper. The board will be kept informed of suitable training opportunities as they are identified, with a possibility of future sessions focusing on breaches. Board members are encouraged to suggest specific areas where they would like training. The Chair will also report back on the Scheme Advisory Board Annual Assembly, an event for Pensions Committee and Board chairs.

Other Business

The meeting will also include standard procedural items such as apologies for absence and declarations of interest. The minutes of the previous meeting will be reviewed. The board will also consider a resolution to exclude the press and public from the meeting for the discussion of remaining items, which are likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information. This includes reviewing exempt minutes from the previous meeting and a Pensions Board Quarterly Monitoring Report. The date of the next meeting, scheduled for 26 March 2026, will also be confirmed.
