The Pensions Regulator

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is the regulatory body overseeing work-based pension schemes in the United Kingdom, established on April 5, 2005 to replace the Occupational Pensions Regulatory Authority with a proactive, risk-based approach to regulation. Operating under the Department for Work and Pensions and headquartered in Brighton, it works to protect the benefits of pension scheme members, reduce risks to the Pension Protection Fund, promote high standards of scheme administration, ensure employers comply with automatic enrolment requirements, and minimise any negative effect on sustainable business growth when it exercises its regulatory functions.
