Pre-retirement Planning Reviews

I found Day 2 heavy going. I preferred Day 1. In fairness Day 2 dealt with more serious topics. I have deliberately waited a while before submitting my review after Day 2 as I was a little deflated after it, with all the talk about wills and enduring powers of attorney. However I have a bit more perspective after a bit of time has elapsed and looking over the slides and my notes, I feel that it was equally good. Both days were very long, perhaps the course could be split in three days in future.

Thank You to all.

Thank You to all.

A lot of information delivered very efficiently

Pensions section very detailed. A lot to try and take in. Heavy going for an afternoon. Consider splitting this with a morning session

Thanks for a very informative day

Social change engagement - whist very good, would have benefitted from links for volunteering in retirement being included / possible examples. Planning for change - whilst good, would have benefitted from information on maintaining good mental health in retirement. Acknowledgement of the uncertainty of change e.g. bereavement. Although we are living longer early death particularly in the times we are in is a real possibility. NAPD – information from the NAPD on staying connected would have also been beneficial e.g. retired member’s association? I think also NAPD should actively encourage members to undertake this training approx. 3 years before retiring as it really is informative and could help pension planning etc. Overall, excellent and thank you. A lot to think about and do!
