Staff security information - UK threat level

The threat level for the UK from international terrorism is set by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC).

Threat levels are designed to give a broad indication of the likelihood of a terrorist attack.

• LOW means an attack is highly unlikely
• MODERATE means an attack is possible, but not likely
• SUBSTANTIAL means an attack is likely
• SEVERE means an attack is highly likely
• CRITICAL means an attack is highly likely in the near future
