Digital resilience
Digital resilience is about being online healthy and on line safe. It involves keeping a healthy balance in your life, having the ability to understand when you are at risk online, knowing what to do if anything goes wrong, learning from your experiences of being online, and being able to recover from any difficulties or upsets.

Generation Verified
From identity to pressure for perfection, popularity, and the desire for likes, Generation Verified is a short film that explores young people’s experiences of the online world and how they cope with the unique generational challenges that they must navigate in their day-to-day lives.
This short film has co-production at its heart ensuring that a group of Barnet young creatives experience all aspects of scriptwriting, acting, film making and directing to explore the online world and the effects it has on young people’s well-being. They have owned this process from the start.
The film benefits from being used as a ‘standalone talking tool’ between peers, families, and communities and as a resource with the additional support of lesson plans and additional resources and signposting.
