United Kingdom's The Pensions Regulator (TPR) issued a series of short films featuring pension savers as part of its campaign to push pension schemes to prepare for pensions dashboards, with a particular focus on ensuring member data is accurate, accessible and digitised. TPR reported that eight in ten schemes say they are on track to connect in line with their dashboards staging dates, but one in four still hold some non-digital dashboard data and many schemes hold out-of-date information on savers’ pension values. All 2,700 schemes with dashboard obligations have a connection date, with the first cohort connecting in April 2025 and all schemes required to connect by October 2026. The regulator pointed trustees and administrators to five priority actions, including starting data preparation now, using its dashboards checklist, nominating a dashboards contact via TPR’s Exchange portal, working with administrators and additional voluntary contribution providers, and maintaining board-level oversight and decision records; it also flagged that it will increase its supervisory focus on data, building on an October 2024 initiative on data controls and further engagement on data quality later in 2025.
