    Pensions Division recently delivered an extremely popular and well received information session in partnership with NICS Live. This session provided an overview of the benefits of the alpha pension scheme, an update on the latest position of the McCloud Remedy, and concluded with a Q&A session where a panel responded to some of the questions submitted in advance of the session.

    Given the popularity of the session, a recording of the session can be viewed above. Please note that as the information remains current, there are no plans to deliver further sessions in the immediate future but this will be kept under review.
