Equality Act 2010

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.

SCHEDULE 15 Associations: reasonable adjustments

Section 107 Preliminary 1 This Schedule applies where a duty to make reasonable adjustments is imposed on an association (A) by this Part. The duty 2 (1) A must comply with the first, second and third requirements. (2) For the purposes of this paragraph, the reference in section 20(3), (4) or (5) to a disabled person is a reference to disabled persons who— (a) are, or are seeking to become or might wish to become, members, (b) are associates, or (c) are, or are likely to become, guests. (3) Section 20 has effect as if, in subsection (4), for “to avoid the disadvantage” there were substituted— (a) to avoid the disadvantage, or (b) to adopt a reasonable alternative method of affording access to the benefit, facility or service or of admitting persons to membership or inviting persons as guests. (4) In relation to the first and third requirements, the relevant matters are— (a) access to a benefit, facility or service; (b) members' or associates' retaining their rights as such or avoiding having them varied; (c) being admitted to membership or invited as a guest. (5) In relation to the second requirement, the relevant matters are— (a) access to a benefit, facility or service; (b) being admitted to membership or invited as a guest. (6) In relation to the second requirement, a physical feature includes a physical feature brought by or on behalf of A, in the course of or for the purpose of providing a benefit, facility or service, on to premises other than those that A occupies (as well as including a physical feature in or on premises that A occupies). (7) Nothing in this paragraph requires A to take a step which would fundamentally alter— (a) the nature of the benefit, facility or service concerned, or (b) the nature of the association. (8) Nor does anything in this paragraph require a member or associate in whose house meetings of the association take place to make adjustments to a physical feature of the house.

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.
