At the top right, a hashtag reads "#technology for equality, diversity and inclusion" in white capital letters. Below the subtitle is the text "1. setting up an audio name badge using name coach" in smaller white letters. Underneath, there is a graphic of a document with the logo and text for "namecoach," which features a purple icon resembling a speech bubble and the tagline "name pronunciations in the tools you love." A web address "https://cloud.name-coach.com" is provided to the right of the logo. In the bottom left corner is the logo and text for "the british psychological society cyberpsychology section" in white.The background is dark purple with white text and images of two screenshots from the Name Coach website. The first screenshot shows the homepage for "Name Coach" with the navigation bar at the top. The dropdown menu under "Our Services" is displayed, showing options such as Business, Education, and Personal Namebadge.  The second screenshot, positioned below the first, shows the section for creating a personal Namebadge. A purple button labeled "Get your Namebadge" is highlighted. Instructions are listed to the left of the screenshots in white text, detailing steps to navigate the website. An orange arrow connects the steps with the corresponding sections of the screenshots. Instruction text reads: 
1. Go to the Name Coach website
2.Go to 'Our Services' from the homepage ribbon
3. Select 'Personal Name Badge' from the drop down menu
4. Click 'Get my name badge'. You'll then be presented with a form...The image has a dark blue background with white text instructions in the upper section. It guides users on how to complete a form, with an emphasis on recording a name badge pronunciation. A small section at the bottom right contains a screenshot demonstrating the interface for recording name pronunciations with options such as using a phone, web recorder, or file uploader. Instructions for recording a name badge pronunciation with options, text reads:
5. Complete the form as required, and then at the end of this you can record your name badge

At the end of the form you can record your name badge in one of three ways

Three buttons on screenshot of form are highlighted, they read: Phone. Web Recorder. Uploader.The image is divided into two main sections, each illustrating instructions for recording a name badge on a website. The left side is a text block with steps and instructions.

In the text block on the left, a step-by-step guide details how to record your name badge using a ‘Web Recorder’ or upload an audio file. The top right screenshot shows a selection interface with options labeled "Phone," "Web Recorder," and "Uploader." The "Web Recorder" is selected, marked with a red arrow.

Instruction text reads:
6. Record your name badge
* To record your name badge directly via the website, select ‘Web Recorder’ and follow the instructions on the site (see top right image).
* If you prefer, you can upload an audio file of your name pronunciation instead - meaning you can use text-to-speech tools to create the audio for you.To do this, select ‘Uploader’ and upload your audio file into the drag and drop area (see bottom right image).
* You can listen to your recording and re-record as needed.
7. Once you have completed your recording click ‘Submit’ and finish to see the Name Coach dashboard with your name badge

Graphic titled Safer Internet Day. A dark blue background with the date February 10th 2026. 

Graphic features some text that says: The internet is not just a technological space — it is a psychological one too. 

Creating a safer internet goes beyond cybersecurity measures alone. It requires an understanding of human behaviour, social interaction, identity, power, and vulnerability in digital contexts.
