I am on UPS1 and would like more information about progressing to UPS2.

Threshold assessment is a voluntary process and entirely a matter of choice for individuals. Teachers are responsible for applying for threshold assessment and they must apply to the headteacher of the school at which they are employed to teach (or head of service if applicable). In all but the most exceptional circumstances two years must elapse before any movement takes place. If this is not what you are looking for or if you want more information you can contact the Department by email at info@dcsf.gsi.gov.uk or telephone on 0870 000 2288.
