Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Teachers’ Pensions Scheme Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2014 (S.R. 2014 No. 310) (“the 2014 Regulations”).

Regulation 2 makes changes to members’ contribution rates in the table in regulation 185 of the 2014 Regulations. As members’ contribution rates are “protected elements” of the scheme under section 22 of the Public Service Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2014, the Department of Education has laid a report before the Assembly explaining why changes have been made in the protected period (28th April 2014 to 31st March 2040).
