NAPF Policy and Research

One of the key ways NAPF serves its members is by influencing the outcome of, and pro-actively shaping, UK pension policy to achieve a viable and sustainable workplace pensions sector that instills public confidence. This means a fair and affordable pensions system and an environment that encourages good workplace pensions.

An important part of our lobbying work revolves around Government consultations. By combining insights from our members with rigorous research, we make our voice heard in Government. In addition, we push the boundaries of the pensions debate by publishing our own research.

Below you will find a selection of Government consultations and NAPF responses, as well as research reports and surveys. You can browse them by key policy topicdate or title.
