Propose a change

The Clergy Conduct Rules 2026

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

What to do with it
As published

84 Protected convictions

(1) This rule applies where— (a) the inclusion of a clerk in Holy orders in the list maintained under section 58 (1) of the CCM is based on a conviction or caution, and (b) the conviction or caution becomes protected.

(3) The grounds on which the clerk may appeal under section 58 (3) of the CCM against the particulars recorded in the list include the grounds that the conviction or caution has become protected. (4) For the purposes of this rule, a conviction or caution is “protected” if it is protected for the purposes of an order made by the Secretary of State under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

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.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
