Propose a change

Children Act 2004

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

21 Framework

(1) The Chief Inspector of Schools must devise a Framework for Inspection of Children’s Services (“the Framework”). (2) The Framework must, for the purpose specified in subsection (3), set out principles to be applied by any person or body conducting a relevant assessment. (3) The purpose referred to in subsection (2) is to ensure that relevant assessments properly evaluate and report on the extent to which children’s services improve the well-being of children and relevant young persons. (4) The principles in the Framework may— (a) include principles relating to the organisation of the results of any relevant assessment; (b) make different provision for different cases. (5) For the purposes of subsections (2) to (4) a relevant assessment is an assessment conducted under any enactment in relation to any children’s services. (6) When devising the Framework, the Chief Inspector of Schools must consult the other persons and bodies to which section 20 applies. (7) The Chief Inspector of Schools must publish the Framework, but before doing so must— (a) consult such persons and bodies, other than those referred to in subsection (6), as he thinks fit; and (b) obtain the consent of the Secretary of State. (8) The Chief Inspector of Schools may at any time revise the Framework (and subsections (6) and (7) apply in relation to revisions to the Framework as to the original Framework).

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.
