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.

86 Work in other capacities: complaints under the CCM, CDM or EJM

(1) This rule applies where there is a finding of misconduct on a complaint under the CCM, CDM or EJM against a clerk in Holy Orders who also carries out work in another capacity. (2) The responsible bishop in relation to the complaint or, if the complaint is against an archbishop, the President of Tribunals must provide the information specified in paragraph (3) to— (a) the person who employs, engages or appoints the clerk to carry out the work in the other capacity, or (b) if it appears to the responsible bishop or the President (as the case may be) that there is no person who comes within sub-paragraph (a) but that there is a person to whom it would be appropriate to provide the information, that person. (3) For the purposes of paragraph (2), the information is— (a) a summary of the finding, (b) a statement of each description of misconduct under section 3 (1) of the CCM to which the finding relates, and (c) the penalty (if any) imposed for the misconduct.

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.
