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.

What to do with it
As published

562C Detained persons with statement of special educational needs

(1) This section applies where, immediately before the beginning of the detention, a local authority in Wales were maintaining a statement under section 324 for a detained person. (2) The authority must keep the statement while the person is detained in relevant youth accommodation. (3) The host authority must use best endeavours to secure that appropriate special educational provision is made for the detained person while the person is detained in relevant youth accommodation. (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), appropriate special educational provision is— (a) the special educational provision that, immediately before the beginning of the detention, was specified in the statement, (b) educational provision corresponding as closely as practicable to the special educational provision so specified, or (c) if it appears to the host authority that the special educational provision so specified is no longer appropriate for the person, such special educational provision as reasonably appears to the host authority to be appropriate for the person.

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.
