Propose a change

Learning and Skills Act 2000

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

96 Persons under 19.

(1) This section applies to a course of education or training— (a) which is provided (or proposed to be provided) by or on behalf of a school or institution or employer, (b) which leads to a relevant qualification, and (c) which is provided (or proposed to be provided) for pupils who are of compulsory school age or for pupils who are above that age but have not attained the age of 19. (2) Unless the relevant qualification is approved under section 98 ..., the course must not be— (a) funded by an authorised body (as defined in section 100), or (b) provided by or on behalf of a maintained school in England . (3) In relation to a maintained school, the local authority and the governing body must carry out their functions with a view to securing that subsection (2)(b) is not contravened. (4) The course mentioned in subsection (1) may be one of two or more components leading to the same qualification. (5) In this section “a relevant qualification” means a qualification to which Part 7 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 applies. (8) These are maintained schools— (a) a community, foundation or voluntary school; (b) a community or foundation special school. (9) In this section and sections 100 to 101 “local authority” has the same meaning as “local authority in England” in the Education Act 1996 (see section 579(1) of that Act).

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.
