Which factor is NOT listed as a Protective Factor?

  1. Social and emotional competence of children

  2. Knowledge of parenting and child development

  3. Case Law

  4. Parent-child relationship

The correct answer is: Case Law

Protective factors are conditions or attributes in individuals, families, communities, or the larger society that mitigate or eliminate risk in families and communities and increase the health and well-being of children and families. In the field of child welfare, knowledge of Case Law is not typically considered a protective factor. Protective factors such as the social and emotional competence of children, knowledge of parenting and child development, and a strong parent-child relationship are all essential in promoting the well-being of children and families.
