LGPS Senior Officer
Harrow Council is preparing to appoint an LGPS senior officer by December 2026, a role mandated by national pension reforms.
Harrow Council's Pension Board discussed national "Fit for the Future reforms" in July 2026, which mandate the appointment of an LGPS senior officer. This designated officer, responsible for aspects of the Local Government Pension Scheme, must be appointed by December 31, 2026, as required by the reforms.
These reforms, which stem from the Pension Schemes Act that became law in April 2026 with regulations effective in June 2026, also require Harrow Council to produce an investment strategy by March 31, 2027.
