About us

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is the UK regulator of workplace pension schemes.

We make sure that employers put their staff into a pension scheme and pay money into it. We also make sure that workplace pension schemes are run properly so that people can save safely for their later years.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is the public body that protects workplace pensions in the UK. We work with employers and those running pensions so that people can save safely for their retirement.

We aim to be a strong, visible regulator so that we build people's confidence in pensions.

We are a public body sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). We’re based in Brighton and have around 800 staff.

We work closely with the Financial Conduct Authority who regulate personal pension schemes. We also work closely with other public bodies including:

• DWP
• PPF
• Money and Pensions Service

Our board members oversee what we do and make sure that TPR is well run.

Together with the Financial Ombudsman Service, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and the Money and Pensions Service, we have produced the Wider Implications Framework. The Framework is a formal agreement for closer working on financial issues.
