There are changes being introduced to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, in relation to members who are impacted by the Transitional Protection remedy.

You may have employees who hold excess service, which can’t be rolled back into the final salary Teachers’ Pension Scheme because it isn’t pensionable in that scheme.

We’ve already reached out to a number of employers to check whether any of their employees needed to be included in this exercise. The next phase will be to directly contact those of you who have affected members, to:

• notify you of those members identified as in scope in your establishment
• request additional information to allow the relevant funds to request the contributions for any LGPS linked service
• allow us to take alternative action for anyone you confirm is out of scope.

We’re aiming to contact you between January and July 2024, and wanted to give you prior notice before this starts.

If you receive a list of affected members and feel there are additional employees who should be included, then please provide us with that information as part of your response.
