Propose a change

Employment Rights Act 2025

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

48 Power of appropriate authority to deal with matters

(1) This section applies where— (a) a Negotiating Body notifies the appropriate authority that it has been unable to reach an agreement on a matter referred to it, and (b) any other specified conditions are met. In paragraph (b) “specified” means specified in regulations made by the appropriate authority. (2) The appropriate authority may by regulations make provision about the matter. (3) Regulations under subsection (2) may provide that the regulations are to have effect for determining the terms and conditions of employment of social care workers to whom the regulations apply. (4) If the regulations make provision within subsection (3), subsections (5) to (7) apply (but see subsection (8)). (5) If the regulations relate to a social care worker’s remuneration, the social care worker’s remuneration is to be determined and paid in accordance with the regulations. (6) A provision of the regulations that relates to any other term or condition of a social care worker’s employment has effect as a term of the social care worker’s contract. (7) A term of that contract has no effect to the extent that it makes provision that is prohibited by, or is otherwise inconsistent with, the regulations. (8) Subsections (5) to (7)— (a) do not apply in relation to a term or condition of a social care worker’s employment if, and to the extent that, giving effect to the regulations would alter the term or condition to the social care worker’s detriment; (b) do not prevent the terms and conditions of a social care worker’s employment from including a term or condition that is more favourable to the social care worker than that which would otherwise have effect by virtue of those subsections.

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.
