The Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) will be hosting an open webinar on 3 November 2022 to update on progress on the development of the ecosystem for pensions dashboards. Chris Curry, PDP’s Principal, will appear alongside others from the programme and the Department for Work and Pensions to explain upcoming steps for the next 6 months and take questions.

The webinar will coincide with the publication of the PDP’s 6th Progress Update Report on 26 October 2022.

The report will unveil details of the timeline for publication of updates to dashboard standards, as well as sharing the latest progress for the programme’s early participants. PDP will also set out the latest developments on the central digital architecture and work with partners to get industry ready for dashboards. 

You can find more details on the webinar, including how to register, by going to pensionsdashboardsprogramme.org.uk/event/progress-update-report-webinar/

Chris Curry said:

“There are now just over 6 months until the first mandatory connection window opens for pension providers and schemes, a key milestone in making pensions dashboards a reality for everyone in the UK. PDP has been working hard on development of the central digital architecture and the standards that will underpin dashboards legislation.

I look forward to people getting the chance to read the report and talking more about the programme in our webinar on 3 November.”
