PENSION SCHEMES ICONTINUEDI The most recent valuatlon of Kent's icKal Government Pension Scheme at 31 March 2019 records a deficit 01 £129m, equivalent to a funding level of assets to liabilities of 98%. The Teachers, Pension Scheme valuation at 31 March 2012 reported the scheme as having a notlonal deficit of £15.0 billion. In the valuaiion report for the year ended 31 Maich 2016 the notlgnal deficit Increased to £22.0 billion. The latest Universities. Superannuation Scheme valuation at 31 March 2018 Indlcated that the scheme hèd a shortfall or defitii of £3.6 billion. In the valuation ￿port for 31 March 2020 the deficit had Increased to £14.Ibn. equivalent to a funding level of assets to liabilities of 82%. Teacherf Pénsionsscheme The Teachers. Pension Scheme ITPSI is a statutory, contributory. defined benefit scheme. The regulations undèr which ihe TP5 operates are the Teachers, Penslons Regulations 1997, as amended. These regulètSons apply to teachers in Schools and other edU￿tIonal establishments In England and Wales maintained by socal authorities, to teachers in rnany independent and voluntary-aided schools, and to teachers and lecturers in establishments ol further and higher education. mèMbe￿h¥P is automatic lor full-time teachers 3nd lecturers and from l January 2(XJ7. for teèthers and lecturers in part-time employment following appointment or a change of contract. Teachers and lecturers are able to opt out tsltheTPS. The Teachers, Pensions Regulations fequire an annual account, the Teacher5, Pension Actount. to be kept of ￿ceIptS and e¥penditure (including the cost of pension5' increa5e51. From l April 2￿1, the Account has been ¢￿dited with a real rale of return Iln excess of Price increase5 and cuirently set at 3.1%), which is equivalent to assuming that the balance in the account il invested in nOt￿n31 investments that produce Ihat real rate of return. Not less than every four years the Government Artuary. uslng normal actuarial principle5. conducts a formal actuarial review of the TPS. The aim of the review is to specify the level ol future contributions. The contribution rate paid into the TPS is assessed in two parts. First, a 5tsndard contrlbutlon rate ISCRI is determined. This is the contribution. expressed as a pefcentage of the salaries of teacher5 and lecturers in service or entering service during the period over which the contribution rate applies. which if it were paid over the entire actlve service of these teacher5 and lecturers would br03dly defray the Cost of benefi15 payable in respect of that service. Secondly, a supplementary contribution is p3yable if, as a result of the actuarial investig3lion, it is found that accumulated liabilities of the Account for benefits to past and wesent teachers, are not fully covered by standard contributions to be paid in future and by the notional fund built up from past contributions. The total contribution rate payable is the sum of the SCR and the supplementarycontribvtion rate. Although teachers and lecLurers are employed by various bodie5. their retirement and other pension benefits, including annual increases payable under the Pensions Ilncreasel Acts, as provided for in the Superaftnuation Act 1972, are paid out of monies provided by Parliament. Under the ktrnfunded TPS. teachers. contributions on a 'pay-as-you-go' basis and ernployer5' contributions are credited to the Exchequer under arrangement5 governed by the above ACL The scheme is accounted lor as rf it is a deflned contribution Scheme.

The actuary to USS has confirmed that rt 15 appropriate to take the pension costs Sn Canterhlry U)rist Church University's finarKial statements to be equal to the attual eontribtrtions paid during the year. In particular, the current contributbn rate has regard to the surpluslldeficitl dlsclosed, the benefit improvements introduced subsequent to the valuation and the need to spread the suiplus/ldeficitl in a prudent manner overthe future worklng lifetime of current scheme members. Because of the mutual nature of the Scheme, Canterbury Christ Church un￿￿sty 15 unable to identrfy it5 share of the underlyin8 a55ets and liabilities of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis and therefore, accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme.
