Display Your ICPHAA Member Badge on Your Website: Copy-and-Paste Code

5 days ago

2 min read

Every ICPHAA member can show their membership on their own website, with a gold badge that links straight to their entry on the ICPHAA verification page. Visitors can confirm your accreditation in one click, and your site joins a network of accredited practitioners linking to the Association's public register.

Who may use the badge

Any current ICPHAA member in good standing: Student, Pre-Accredited, Accredited and Accredited + Supervisor categories, and Allied Healthcare members. The badge links to your verification record, which shows your membership category and status, so it never overstates your standing. If your membership lapses, please remove the badge.

Step 1: find your membership number

Your membership number is on your certificate, your welcome email and your member portal dashboard. It has the form M followed by four digits, for example M1234.

Step 2: copy the badge code

Replace M1234 with your own membership number in both places. Everything else stays as it is.

<a href="https://www.icphaa.ie/verify-certificate?m=M1234" title="Verify ICPHAA membership M1234">  <img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8d7f58_44c149127bfa4077a3519e5dfdb3be8a~mv2.png/v1/crop/x_30,y_0,w_1240,h_1090/fill/w_320,h_281,al_c,q_90/icphaa-verified-member-badge.png"       alt="ICPHAA verified member, membership number M1234" width="160" height="141" style="border:0;"></a>

Prefer a text link? Use this instead, again replacing M1234:

<a href="https://www.icphaa.ie/verify-certificate?m=M1234">Verified member of ICPHAA (M1234)</a>

Step 3: add it to your website

Wix: open the editor, click Add Elements, choose Embed Code, then Embed HTML, paste the code and resize the box to about 180 by 160 pixels. Place it in your footer or About section and publish.
WordPress: add a Custom HTML block (block editor) or a Custom HTML widget in the footer, paste the code and update.
Squarespace: add a Code block where you want the badge, paste the code and save.
Other platforms and web designers: send the code to whoever maintains your site. It is plain HTML and works anywhere.
Email signature and social profiles: most email programs and social networks do not accept HTML code, so add the text link only, for example “Verified member of ICPHAA (M1234)” pointing to your verification page.

Linking to your directory profile as well

If you have published your directory listing, you can also link to your profile page. Your profile address is shown in the member portal under Directory, in the form icphaa.ie/practitioner/your-name. Use the verification link for the badge and the profile link for a “View my ICPHAA profile” text link.

Why this helps you and the profession

Prospective clients can check your accreditation instantly, which is the single most common advice given to people choosing a therapist.
Search engines treat links from many independent practitioner websites to the ICPHAA register as a strong signal of trust, which helps the Association's directory, and your listing within it, appear higher in search results.
It presents a consistent, professional mark of accreditation across the membership.

Conditions of use

Use the badge only while your membership is current and only on sites that represent your own practice or employer.
Do not alter the artwork, change its colours or remove the link to the verification page.
The badge is not a statement that a service is regulated by the State; see our article on where statutory regulation stands.
