Notifiable events: How to notify

Notifications can be made in writing or online using Exchange. 

The minimum information that should be included in a notification is:

• a description of the notifiable event;
• the date of the event;
• the name of the pension scheme;
• the name of the employer; and
• the name, position and contact details of the notifier.

Information that would also be useful is:

• the address of the pension scheme;
• the name and address of the main trustee contact;
• the pension scheme registration number;
• the name and address of the main employer contact;
• the employer’s current trading status; and
• the name of any controlling company or group to which the employer belongs.

The Pensions Regulator's preference is to be notified quickly, rather than for there to be a delay in confirming whether an event has occurred; whether the exceptions apply; or in obtaining all the information which would be useful.
