Many older people experience exclusion from the communities they live in. The World Health Organisation has recognised this through their Age Friendly Cities and Communities programme, which encourages the development of different spaces and places to improve older peoples' inclusion in their communities and cities. Historically and politically people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and people who identify as lesbian, gay, bi, trans + (LGBT+) have been socially excluded from their communities throughout their lives; when people with IDD were housed in institutions and homosexuality was seen as an illness or criminalised. These life experiences put older people from these two groups at greater risk of inequality, discrimination and exclusion in community contexts. Using online technology has also been difficult for older people, particularly for people who already experience exclusion such as those with IDD and those identifying as LGBT+. So far, very little research has been done with these two groups to hear their experiences of local and online community inclusion and exclusion and to better understand how community inclusion can be strengthened in England and Scotland. This study aims to develop knowledge of the community spaces and places (local and virtual) that people with IDD and LGBT+ use in their everyday lives. The main research questions examine how older people with IDD and LGBT+ describe and experience inclusion and exclusion and what these mean to them. We will explore how local and online community places can be improved to reduce social inequalities. Finally, the research will look at how these new ideas might be used to shape government policy and organisational practices. The research is organised in five related work packages. Which are jointly led by university researchers and practitioners in third sector organisations. All stages of the research will be guided by people with lived experience in IDD and LGBT+ in advisory groups. People with IDD and LGBT+ lived experience will work as trained co-researchers on the project. We will use a variety of verbal, visual and geographical methods to access marginalised voices in appropriate ways and enable diverse people's views to emerge.In work package (WP) 1 we will build strong relationships within the study communities, set up advisory groups of older people with IDD and LGBT+, train co-researchers and create an international reference group of 'critical friends' for the project. In WP2 we will recruit participants and access their stories of spaces and places in their communities over time. This will involve generating and co-analysing interactive mapping software data, photography and social network interviews to gain a rich and authentic understanding of inclusion and exclusion. Third sector representatives will also be interviewed for their views. In WP3, we will bring the different data sets together, jointly reflect on and synthesis findings, analysing patterns of inclusion and exclusion across both IDD and LGBT+ groups and understanding what they mean in real world contexts. Four events will be held in WP4 with participants, family members, carers and service providers to evaluate potential new policy and practice solutions for local and online community inclusion. WP5 will translate and share co-produced project knowledge (via knowledge mobilisation champions) across communities, private, public and third sector organisations. This will lead to practical, accessible ideas and a road map for change in community inclusion for people with IDD and people who identify as LGBT+. Findings will also be shared in local, national and international conferences/seminars, publications, third sector and two showcase events and across social media. An impact tracking and evaluation plan has been devised to make sure that findings from this project have impact at individual, community, and policy levels.

许多老年人经历了他们所居住的社区的排斥。世界卫生组织通过其年龄友好的城市和社区计划认识到这一点，这鼓励了不同空间和地点的发展，以改善老年人在其社区和城市中的包容性。在历史和政治上，有智力和发展障碍的人（IDD）和认同女同性恋，同性恋，bi，trans +（LGBT +）的人在他们的一生中被社会排除在社区之外；当患有IDD的人被安置在机构中时，同性恋被视为一种疾病或被定为犯罪。这些生活经历使这两个群体的老年人面临着更大的不平等，歧视和排斥的风险。对于老年人来说，使用在线技术也很困难，尤其是对于那些已经经历了IDD和识别LGBT+的人的人。到目前为止，对这两个小组的研究很少，以听取他们在本地和在线社区的包容和排斥方面的经验，并更好地了解如何在英格兰和苏格兰加强社区包容性。这项研究旨在发展有关IDD和LGBT+在日常生活中使用的社区空间和地方（本地和虚拟）的知识。主要的研究问题研究了患有IDD和LGBT+的老年人如何描述和体验包容性和排斥以及这些对他们意味着什么。我们将探讨如何改善本地和在线社区的地方以减少社会不平等。最后，研究将研究如何使用这些新想法来塑造政府的政策和组织实践。该研究由五个相关的工作包进行。由第三部门组织的大学研究人员和从业人员共同领导。该研究的所有阶段将由在IDD和LGBT+咨询小组中具有生活经验的人的指导。具有IDD和LGBT+生活经验的人将在该项目中担任培训的共同研究者。我们将使用各种口头，视觉和地理学方法以适当的方式访问边缘化的声音，并使各种各样的人观点出现。在WP2中，我们将随着时间的流逝招募参与者并访问他们在社区中的空间和地点的故事。这将涉及生成和共同开展交互式映射软件数据，摄影和社交网络访谈，以获得对包容和排斥的丰富和真实的理解。第三部门代表也将接受他们的观点。在WP3中，我们将将不同的数据集汇总在一起，共同反思和综合发现，分析IDD和LGBT+组中包容和排除模式，并了解它们在现实世界中的含义。 WP4将与参与者，家庭成员，护理人员和服务提供商进行四次活动，以评估本地和在线社区包容的潜在新政策和实践解决方案。 WP5将在社区，私人，公共和第三部门组织之间翻译和分享共同制作的项目知识（通过知识动员冠军）。这将导致实用，易于访问的想法，并为IDD和识别为LGBT+的人提供社区包含的路线图。调查结果还将在本地，国家和国际会议/研讨会，出版物，第三部门和两个展示活动以及跨社交媒体上共享。已经制定了一项影响跟踪和评估计划，以确保该项目的发现对个人，社区和政策水平产生影响。
