Pensions and death benefits

Any OML, OAL or OPL that is unpaid (plus unpaid parental leave if the employee returns to work)

Who?

Some argue that for DC arrangements the employer also needs to make up the difference between what the employee contributes based on actual earnings, and what they would have contributed based on notional earnings. It isn’t clear that this is needed, and it isn’t normally done

*Employer top-up?

How does it work? What protection an employee has for pension and death benefit provision during leave depends on the type of leave, whether it is paid leave or not and what type of pension scheme the employee is in. These tables show what happens for employees in defined benefit (DB) plans or sections (final salary schemes, career average) and for defined contribution (DC) plans or sections where the employer contributes (money purchase, group personal pension). For cash balance plans, read the tables as if DC contributions were employer credits

Do we have to offer this protection? Bringing together the bulk of the equality laws in 2010 created some odd gaps in the way maternity protection works for pensions and death benefits. Until those gaps are joined up, it is difficult to be absolutely sure what the minimum requirements are. These tables set out what we think will be enough to be sure to keep you within the law

YESUse actual earnings

Employee contributions?

YESUse notional earnings

YES*Use notional earnings

YESUse notional earnings

CONTINUESEmployee is not treated as having left during leave

Death in service lump sum cover?

DC scheme: employer ordinary contributions

A budget range of dining sets rebranded to give the appearance of a much higher quality product.

Going along with the ‘less is more’ concept, everything needed to be kept simple from photography, colour palette, even the name ‘Eat-on’.

The end result is a clean, simple and quality looking product with a Poundland price tag.

Artists

Magic Me freelance artists are skilled practitioners

in diverse disciplines across the performing, visual,

literary and media arts. All have extensive experience

of using their artforms with community groups and

many also bring to this work, training and skills in

education, social work, conflict resolution and other

complementary fields.

Most projects are co-led by two or more artists from

different disciplines, supported by a Project Manager.

By selecting the appropriate artists we aim to cater

for very diverse groups, including individuals with

dementia orsensory impairments, or people from

diverse cultures.

Continuing Professional Development

Throughout its history Magic Me has run training

programmes and events preparing our artists

for the particular challenges and dynamics of

intergenerational work. Our Continuing Professional

Development programme offers artists and staff

opportunities to learn new skills and to discuss

and share learning that takes place across different

projects.

Volunteers and students

Volunteers and students on placements with Magic

Me as part of their courses are a vital part of our

organisation. Every week our volunteers support

less confident young and older people to join in

activities, do office admin or upload photos to

our website.

We also benefit from specialist skills

such as journalism, database design or

research.

We estimate that volunteers’

and students’ help last year

was worth over £17,000. Our heartfelt

thanks to all of you! We could not run

such a rich programme and reach so

many people without you.

&CARESETTINGS

Our partnerships with Primary Schools and older people are just as important.

This year Clara Grant School pupils joined with Fern Street Settlement members to create beautiful mosaics and friendship benches for both venues. This was the fourth annual Magic Me arts project with the two organisations, who keep in touch through the year with visits by pupils for concerts, local history work and other curriculum based sessions. A new Magic Me Holiday Club was launched at Easter 2010 for children who wanted to continue visiting their older friends in their own time.

John Scurr School pupils visited Pat Shaw House care home residents for shared singing and arts workshops and the school is now building more intergenerational visits and sessions into their singing and concerts programme.

The 2010 Magic Me project, the third, was funded by NHS Tower Hamlets, aiming to promote better mental health amongst older people and greater community understanding of elders’ mental health issues.

The teachers and activities organisers we work with are wonderful ambassadors for inter generational work and their support and enthusiasm is invaluable.

Magic Me with Schools and Older People Creative projects linking older people with local school pupils have been a core Magic Me activity for more than 21 years. Annual projects with regular partners have enabled us to develop real working relationships with school staff, older people and those who work with them, honing plans to meet changing needs and target specific groups. New activities grow from participants’ suggestions and intergenerational work is woven into organisations’ regular programmes.

Dressing Up!

This year’s 7th annual collaborative project with The Women’s Library and Mulberry School for Girls, saw women aged 14 to 84 exploring the ways in which women express themselves and disguise themselves through clothes. In 2009 participants used photography and creative writing to explore the theme of Utopia.

2011_Portfolio_CS4_FINAL.indd 24 07/10/2011 04:03

Leather case bound retirement book for Senior Partner of Allen & Overy, Guy Beringer QC. De-bossed title to leather cover and matching presentation box.

A great team player

Ask people about Allen & Overy’s senior

partner from 2000 to 2008 and a number of

words keep recurring: independent thinker,

determined, humorous, honest, modest,

and fantastic public speaker.

He led the firm with vision and confidence

during the last months of the internet

boom, through the economic slump which

followed that and back to the rude health

which it has enjoyed in recent years.

He is scrupulously impartial and fair,

comfortable taking difficult decisions and

defending them – and always willing to

share his compendious knowledge of the

Duke of Wellington!

And for 30 years his commitment to A&O

has been second to none. The firm has

quite simply been his working life. From

the trainee who walked through the door

at New Change to the Senior Partner – the

youngest ever – who successfully led the

firm for eight years, Guy has grown at

Allen & Overy.

But all good things must come to an end,

and so the time has come for colleagues

and clients to bid him a fond farewell. As we

do so, this book stands as a celebration of

his life and times at A&O.

It includes memories and messages from

those who know him, including his fellow

partners at the firm and clients. His three

daughters also share some of their stories

growing up with Guy, and his wife Margaret

discusses what the last 30 years have

meant for her.

And there are pictures. Lots of pictures. The

following pages are positively plastered with

pictures from the past three decades – from

Guy’s time as a professional rugby player to

his role in the A&O production of the Pirates

of Penzance.

So, Guy Beringer – this is your life at A&O…

Goodbye Guy

Amelia: Daddy always used to tell me that I

couldn’t have a boyfriend. When I was 15, I

couldn’t have a boyfriend until I was 18. Then,

when I turned 18, I couldn’t have a boyfriend

until I was 21. But I’ve since been told by my

sisters that what I’m supposed to do is have

a boyfriend – but just not tell daddy!

Daddy at home is a stark contrast to him at

work, because at work he’s the boss, but at

home he’s not. He’s actually quite low in the

pecking order – although he wouldn’t think

that!

Louisa: He’s very competitive. We would

do these swimming races, and when I was

younger daddy would give me a head start so

that I would win. But now, he goes all out to

win. We raced recently, and I wasn’t allowed

to use my legs so that he had a better chance

of winning.

Catherine: Dad’s always told us that we can

do anything, and never to believe anyone who

says we can’t do something because we’re

girls. He’s very pro-women and very fair. He

will help others with their careers, but does

not believe in nepotism. After all, he started

out as a trainee just like everyone else, and

we’ve grown up with a very real work ethic.

Dad has such solid values.

Louisa: He loves the underdog in any

situation, and tends to befriend the people

that, for whatever reason, nobody else

wants to be friends with. As a result, we’ve

had some pretty random people round for

Christmas dinner over the years!

We raced recently, and I wasn’t allowed to use my legs so that he had a better chance of winning.

Good with an audience

Catherine: He absolutely loves dressing up.

He has an Ali Baba outfit, and a policeman’s

outfit. He’s particularly fond of hats.

He’s a brilliant performer. For years he’s been

the MC at our local church, doing musical

performances –mainly songs from the shows

or Gilbert & Sullivan. He would coordinate

it and introduce the acts on the night. He’s

very funny when he ad-libs. There would be a

show every six months and he came up with

some great ideas for it.

He’s got a lovely voice, and plays guitar, but

all the other guys singing with him would be

tone deaf!

Louisa: We used to get involved too. Daddy

would sing an Irish song, McNamara’s Band,

that referred to lots of different instruments,

and we would get dressed up in green and

be the band, playing all those instruments.

Catherine: We would be playing all these

different instruments at once, but daddy

rehearsed us so well we weren’t actually that

bad. On one occasion, I had to sing as Daddy

was doing ‘a big deal’ and didn’t get home

to do the show. This became our signature

act – like the Von Trapp family. I’ve got some

really fond memories of playing that song in

the church hall.

Louisa: He’s a bit of a celebrity near where

he lives. Old ladies in particular love him.

Daddy’s very different at home. People in

the area know that he’s a lawyer, and quite

an important one, but other than that they

don’t really know what he does. He’s not at

all intimidating to them. In fact, he would put

himself out for anyone, particularly the old

ladies, who he is always running around after.

I remember that one of them once said that

he looked like Richard Gere!

Amelia: I remember when he came second in

Roll On Friday’s search for the ‘most shagable

lawyer’. He joked at the time that it was a mis-

count and he should have been number 1and I wasn’t allowed to use my legs so that he had a better chance of
