Part 1 – the Pensions Regulator

Provision of information, education and assistance

Section 12: Provision of information, education and assistance

60.This section enables the Regulator to provide information, education and assistance to those involved in the administration of work-based pension schemes, employers in relation to such schemes or people advising the trustees, managers or employees in the operation of these schemes. The Regulator may also provide information, education and assistance to those who have duties under section 238 of this Act. “Work-based pension scheme” has the same meaning as in section 5 and “employers in relation to work-based pension schemes” means, in the case of stakeholder pension schemes, the persons upon whom duties are imposed under section 3 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (duty of employers to facilitate access to stakeholder pension schemes).
