Civil Service Pensions

God I'm so confused right now. I have the following questions to answer:

1. Have you ever been a member of the Civil Service pension agreements?

2. If not, are you currently a member of a pension scheme "by-analogy" to the civil service?

I have no idea of the answer to that, but Thames Valley Police contract their pensions out to Buckinghamshire County Council but that's pretty much all I know. Can anyone help me answer these before I have to make a load of calls and get passed to everyone at Bucks CC to find out?

This might help:

Yes, police pensions are civil service pensions.

I need to make this clear. It's a Thames Valley Police Staff pension not a police officer pension.

Cool, thanks.

Now I need to find out which of the following it is:

Classic
Premium
Classic Plus
Nuvos
Partnership

this is wrong!

police are part of the local government pension scheme, the civil service pension scheme is different.

So what would you say the answers to the questions are?

If you joined in the past 5 years or so and it does count as a civil service pension it's almost certainly Nuvos, you should still have paperwork and/or it may say on your annual pension statement but in the absence of further information I'd guess Nuvos.

I was hoping you'd see this thread. Thanks mate

Well I'm glad this is straight forward and not confusing. Looks like I'll be making some calls tomorrow.
