Tell your story with a Rix Wiki

Private Wikis

Rix Wikis are simple, accessible, secure and easy to build personal websites. They give you a secure space to tell your story and to update and share it when you choose to with people that you trust.

Private Wikis are owned by the individual/family and are private, secure and password protected. This means that you can use your Wiki to capture the pictures, videos, documents and audio files that are important to you and help others understand your skills and aspirations and what’s important to and for you.

Wikis give individuals and families the chance to tell their story in their own words - focusing on skills, talents and aspirations. It can be used to share information with different people and means that families do not have to tell their story repeatedly. Wikis can be used to share information for Education Health and Care plans, annual reviews, medical appointments, at transitions, when new people start working with you and sharing successes.

Sharing Shane's Wiki Video

"I was introduced to Katie’s Wiki page by her Mother Rachel. Rachel thought it would be a good idea for me to have a look prior to my visit with Katie. I thought it was a really good way to gain a wealth of information about Katie that would have taken so much time to obtain face to face. By simply logging on to the page I could access Katie’s low vision assessment and see videos on how her eyesight affects her ability to read print. I could then easily access a link to what Katie likes to do in her spare time, school life, and aspirations for the future. I feel that it gave a great insight into Katie’s life and from a sight loss point of view allowed me to see her low vision assessment including what text size she can read. All in all it was a great benefit to have access to this." Mark Brownlow, ROVI, - Independent Living Team
