Propose a change

Education Act 1996

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

(1) This section applies where an integrated care board, a Local Health Board ... , a National Health Service trust or an NHS foundation trust , in the course of exercising any of their functions in relation to a child who is under compulsory school age, form the opinion that he has (or probably has) special educational needs. (2) The Board or other body — (a) shall inform the child’s parent of their opinion and of their duty under paragraph (b), and (b) after giving the parent an opportunity to discuss that opinion with an officer of the Board or other body , shall bring it to the attention of the appropriate local authority. (3) If the Board or other body are of the opinion that a particular voluntary organisation is likely to be able to give the parent advice or assistance in connection with any special educational needs that the child may have, they shall inform the parent accordingly.

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.
