All convicted terrorists are referred to Pathfinder upon entry to prison. Information on the number of persons in custody for terrorism connected offences is published. The most recent data is available here: Operation of police powers under the Terrorism Act 2000 and subsequent legislation: Arrests, outcomes, and stop and search, Great Britain, quarterly update to September 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

The Ministry of Justice is unable to disclose the numbers of non-TACT connected offenders who are identified as posing a terrorist risk due to security considerations.
