Assumptions used
The last triennial actuarial valuation of the Scheme was performed by an independent professional actuary at 30 April 2018 using the projected unit method of valuation.

There have been no changes in the valuation methodology adopted for this year’s disclosures compared to the prior year’s disclosures.

The financial assumptions reflect the nature and term of the Scheme’s liabilities.
