PASA GMP equalisation communications survey

We want to hear from pension schemes themselves about communicating GMP equalisation.

At PASA we've formed a Communication Sub-committee to help schemes communicate about GMP equalisation. What are your biggest concerns / headaches / barriers around communications? Your input will help us make sure our guidance hits the spot.

The survey will take you no more than 3 minutes. All responses are anonymous.
