    This document contains a risk scoring matrix used by NHS Mid Essex to assess risk levels. It rates the likelihood of a risk occurring on a scale from 1 to 5, and the consequence or severity from 1 to 5. Multiplying the likelihood and consequence scores gives an overall risk rating from 1 to 25. Based on the rating, the matrix determines the required level of responsibility and actions. Risks rated 1-3 are low and managed locally, 4-6 are moderate and require a formal risk assessment, 8-12 are high and 15-25 are serious requiring immediate action to reduce the risk.
