• Welcome to The Trustee toolkit


    The Trustee toolkit is a free, online learning programme from The Pensions Regulator aimed at trustees of occupational pension schemes. 

    The Trustee toolkit includes a series of online learning modules and downloadable resources developed to help you meet the minimum level of knowledge and understanding introduced in the Pensions Act 2004. You can find more information about the Trustee knowledge and understanding requirements on The Pensions Regulator's website.

    Help us improve the trustee toolkit by participating in our user testing

    We are planning to update the content in the trustee toolkit. As part of this work, we are changing the software we use to create the modules and we need your feedback.

    To help us design this so that it meets your needs, we are seeking the help of lay and professional trustees who use the toolkit to participate in user testing of a prototype module. Your participation will provide valuable insights into the clarity, usability, and effectiveness of the updated modules.

    By participating in our user testing sessions, you'll have the opportunity to:

    • Experience a prototype of an updated module
    • Provide your insights on the usability and effectiveness of the updated module
    • Share your thoughts on how we can further enhance the trustee toolkit to better meet your learning needs

    Please contact us if you would like to participate at tpr_research@tpr.gov.uk. Please put TTK research into the subject line.
