The Care and Support (Assessment) Regulations 2014
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
2 Supported self-assessment
(1) A supported self-assessment is an assessment carried out jointly by the local authority and the individual to whom it relates. (2) A local authority proposing to carry out an assessment must ascertain whether the individual to whom the assessment is to relate wishes the assessment to be a supported self-assessment. (3) A supported self-assessment must be carried out if the individual concerned is an adult and— (a) wishes the assessment to be a supported self-assessment; and (b) has the capacity to take part in a supported self-assessment. (4) A supported self-assessment may be carried out if the individual concerned is a child and— (a) wishes the assessment to be a supported self-assessment; (b) has the capacity, and is competent, to take part in a supported self-assessment; and (c) the local authority believes it appropriate for a self-supported assessment to be carried out having regard to all the circumstances. (5) To facilitate the carrying out of the assessment a local authority must provide an individual taking part in a supported self-assessment with any relevant information it may have— (a) about that individual; and (b) providing the consent condition in paragraph (6) is met, in the case of— (i) a carer’s assessment, about the adult needing care; (ii) a child’s carer’s assessment, about the child needing care; (iii) a young carer’s assessment, about the adult needing care, if the local authority believes it is appropriate for the young carer to have that information having regard to all the circumstances. (6) The consent condition referred to in paragraph (5)(b) is met if— (a) the adult or child needing care has capacity or is competent to agree to the information in paragraph (5)(b) being provided and does so agree, or (b) the adult or child needing care does not have capacity or is not competent so to agree but the local authority is satisfied that providing the information in paragraph (5)(b) would be in the best interests of the adult or child needing care. (7) The information must be provided in a format which is accessible to the individual to whom it is given.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
