Financial advice for teachers

Overview

Seeking high-quality financial advice as a member of school staff is important when thinking about your Teachers’ Pension and future after teaching.

We have published another support article which provides an overview of the topic of Teachers’ Pensions. 

If you work in an independent school or you are a supply teacher, you might have a different provider for your pension scheme.

At Edapt, we are currently unable to provide financial advice to our subscribers. However, we do receive many requests from our subscribers requesting financial advice.

Below, we list a range of organisations who provide financial advice for school staff and blurbs about them from their websites.

They should not be seen as direct recommendations from Edapt. It should be noted that this list is not comprehensive and not in any particular order.
