On 30th April 2026 the UK Threat level was increased to SEVERE, this means a terrorist attack is highly likely.
The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC), which includes counter terrorist experts from the UK’s intelligence agencies, police and government, is responsible for setting the threat level for the UK from terrorism. JTAC has considered recent events and intelligence and has therefore decided to increase the threat level.
At this time, it is recommended that UK businesses review their security arrangements and contingency plans. If you need advice or guidance the following two websites are a good start:
National Protective Security Authority
Sirius Business Services Ltd can also assist with training on postal bombs, telephone bomb threats, first aid, and catastrophic bleeding and advise on physical and procedural security arrangements, contingency and disaster recovery plans. We can also advise on how this may affect in the planning of events.
Please trust your instincts. Report anything that doesn’t feel right at gov.uk/ACT. Every report is looked at, and you won’t be wasting our time.
