These include changes to key membership data when scheme members have variations to their contracts of employment or leave to work with other scheme employers within the Fund. We are committed to ensuring our data is up to date and accurate and have developed a data analysis tool which performs almost one hundred daily checks on all member records and reports on inconsistencies. Aside from the performance standards we continue to provide newsletters to all members as well as information booklets and other web based information. 53.94% 82.04% Annual Forecasts were also issued to active and deferred members during the year. We also have Facebook and Twitter accounts to encourage members of all ages to engage with the Fund. Paying our pensioners is our top priority and we continue to do so without fail.
