In our second episode of Season 3, Cilla Christmas, Valuation & Strategic Review Manager and Co-Chair of the Carer’s Network returns to the podcast to talk about what caring responsibilities can mean for your pension and retirement planning. From drawing on personal experiences of caring responsibilities to exploring the statistics around carers in the Civil Service, Cilla talks us through what it means to be a carer and how to access the support available to you, both in and outside of the civil service pension scheme. Whether you’re thinking of changing your working pattern or if you’re having conversations about a Lasting Power of Attorney with loved ones, we discuss some of the practical aspects of what carers may need to consider. Whether you’re a civil servant and caring for someone, if the person you’re caring for is a civil servant, or if you think you may have caring responsibilities in the future, we hope you find this episode informative.
