CHCPRT001-IDENTIFY AND RESPOND TO CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE AT RISK.

QUESTION:
Explain the term 'Risk and Protective factors'?

I have the definitions of risk and protective factors however don't feel like that is what the question is asking.
Risks factors for child maltreatment are the measurable circumstances, conditions or events that increase the probability that a family will have poor outcomes in the future
Protective factors are attributes or conditions that can occur at individual, family, community or wider societal level. Protective factors moderate risk or adversity and promote healthy development and child and family well being


Would this be correct or is there an actual explanation of risk and protective factors?
