Earlier this year we submitted a paper to BTP about ways we can work together to provide more detailed and relevant guidance to members approaching retirement. That's work in progress but in the meantime, we're pleased to see more pre-retirement courses planned for 2023.
The sessions will be facilitated by Police Mutual and are open to all BTP officers and staff. Places are limited and are allocated on a first come, first served basis; if there are enough spaces, partners are welcome too.
What topics are covered?
Planning for retirement is about more than your income. These courses will of course cover financial aspects but will also focus on lifestyle considerations. You will gain a better understanding on your individual situation, your personal goals and how to achieve them. Topics include:
- Hopes and fears, coping with change
