Over the course of the recent industrial action, common questions have been asked about USS, including the current contribution rates and the implementation of the Joint Expert Panel's first report.

We have put together a suite of Q&A cards to help employers answer these questions. The cards are designed for use on Twitter, but we can provide design files, or adjusted images for use elsewhere. Contact info@universitiesuk.ac.uk for further information.
