Risk Scoring Methodology
The scoring system used by Aberdeen University is applied via a standard 4x4
scoring matrix. The matrix provides a visual representation of the risk score by
applying RAG (Red, Amber, Green) ratings to match the severity of risk posed. Those
risks RAG rated lowest will be coloured green, and those highest coloured red.
• Risk scoring allows severity of risks to be established.
• It allows determination on whether the level of risk is in line with the University's
risk appetite.
