Guidance

1. Advice - regulation.

Information, advice or other help.

Especially when provided by a regulator or other authority.

2. Pensions.

A document issued by the UK Pensions Regulator in addition to a Code of Practice, but of less weight, where there is a need to explain:

1. what the law requires;
2. the responsibilities of particular groups and how they can meet those responsibilities;
3. changes to the law; and
4. the Pension Regulator’s approach on a particular matter.

Guidance is not a statement of law and, unlike Codes of Practice, courts and tribunals will not take it into account.
