Mr Pounder reported that he had found the Fundamentals Training Programme he attended to be helpful with regard to his understanding of pensions and recommended the programme for any future new members of the Board. Mrs Haigh reported that the internal workshop on the role of the Local Authority Pensions Fund Forum had been interesting, though some aspects had been too detailed and Ms Moult informed the Board that the Practitioners Conference in November 2019 had been informative and included some useful presentations.
The Head of the Pension Fund reported that feedback on external conferences/internal workshops was used to shape the future programme of training for members of the Board both in terms of subject matter and identifying those events which were considered the most beneficial.
Resolved: That the feedback given at the meeting in relation to the training received by members of the Board since the last meeting is noted.
