The Pensions Regulator

How the regulator works

The Pensions Regulator's top priority is to tackle risks to members' benefits.

We may receive information about possible risks from the trustees, managers, advisers or members of a scheme.

In order to tackle these risks we may:

help the trustees and employer to come to an agreement about levels of contributions to the scheme, and put in place a long-term funding plan;
order an employer to pay any shortfall in a scheme;
order scheme administrators to improve the service they provide to trustees; or
make sure that money stolen from a scheme is returned.
