Are you thinking about retiring from lecturing? In these pages we aim to answer some of the questions you may have as you plan for the future, and link you into useful sources of information .

NATFHE members automatically get sent two free advice booklets as they approach retirement:

• Plan Now For The Future , sent to all members when they reach 50, contains information to help make pension, financial and other plans for their retirement.

• Now That You're Retiring... , available to members on the brink of retiring or contemplating early or ill health retirement, contains further details on the Teachers' Pension Scheme and a range of information on employment, education, leisure, volunteering and lifestyle options in retirement.

Also available from NATFHE is Additional Pension Provision , a booklet of independent financial guidance prepared by Bacon & Woodrow, consulting actuaries to the Teachers' Panel of the Teachers Superannuation Working Party.
