Propose a change

The Schools (Recording and Reporting of Seclusion and Restraint) (No. 2) (England) Regulations 2025

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.

As published

3 Meaning of seclusion etc.

(1) For the purposes of these Regulations one or more members of school staff seclude a pupil if they detain that one pupil in a place apart from any other person (except the member or members of staff) otherwise than as a disciplinary penalty, including by— (a) physically obstructing the pupil’s way of leaving the place, (b) securing the place so that the pupil cannot leave it, or (c) causing the pupil to believe that they will be punished if they leave the place. (2) For the purposes of these Regulations a member of school staff restrains or immobilises a pupil if they restrict the pupil’s movement otherwise than as a disciplinary penalty, including by— (a) holding or binding the pupil’s body or part of it, (b) securing the pupil to a fixed or heavy object, or (c) depriving the pupil of an auxiliary aid that they usually use to help them move. (3) In this regulation “disciplinary penalty” has the same meaning as in Chapter 1 of Part 7 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006.

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.
