Five Elms Primary School

Parent Zone’s Digital Resilience team visited Five Elms, to deliver a special Esafety presentation on digital resilience, which  is a more effective way to ensure children stay safe online, and benefit from the opportunities the internet offers.

Based on the basic tenets of resilience, it deals with social and emotional skills, safe spaces and recovery.  

During the presentation the team talked about digital resilience as ‘having the emotional resources needed to:

•understand when you are at risk online

•know what to do to seek help

•learn from experience

•recover when things go wrong

There are three areas based on the basic tenets of resilience:

1.    Social and emotional skills: understanding the meaning of empathy and what it means in an offline and online world.

2.    Safe Spaces: being able to identify and understand when at risk online.

3.    Recovery: being able to learn from experiences and knowing how to recover when things go wrong online (reporting and blocking).
