2 Requirements for a person to be an independent advocate
(1) A local authority must not make arrangements for a person to be an independent advocate under section 67(2) of the Act unless the authority is satisfied that the person— (a) has appropriate experience; (b) has undertaken appropriate training; (c) is competent to represent and support the individual for the purpose of facilitating that individual’s involvement in any assessment and planning function; (d) has integrity and is of good character; and (e) has arrangements in place to receive appropriate supervision. (2) A local authority must not make arrangements for a person to be an independent advocate under section 67(2) of the Act where that person is engaged in providing care or treatment in a professional capacity, or for remuneration— (a) for the individual to whom representation and support are to be made available; or (b) for— (i) that individual’s carer, where the individual is an adult with care and support needs; or (ii) the adult in respect of whom that individual is providing care, where the individual is a carer.

(4) Before deciding whether a person has integrity and is of good character as mentioned in paragraph (1)(d), the local authority must obtain, in respect of that person, an enhanced criminal record certificate issued under section 113B of the Police Act 1997 which includes— (a) where the individual to whom representation and support are being made available is under 18 years of age, suitability information relating to children (within the meaning of section 113BA of that Act); (b) where the individual to whom representation and support are being made available is 18 years of age or older, suitability information relating to vulnerable adults (within the meaning of section 113BB of that Act).

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.
