Abstract

Accessible summary: The journal now has a statement on the website about respecting diversity, wanting to include different people and their perspectives, and standing alongside people with learning disabilities. We have done some research with people with learning disabilities about how they might contribute to reviewing papers. We will report on this soon. This issue of the journal has papers about community and well‐being for people with learning disabilities. The papers look at how we can help people who belong in communities. Some cover how people stayed connected during Covid lockdowns. Others focus on different ways of supporting people's mental health.
