Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968
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
70 Abscondment from residential establishments.
If a child who is required by a supervision requirement to reside in a residential establishment— (a) absconds from the establishment in which he resides; or (b) absconds from any hospital or other institution in which he is temporarily residing; or (c) being absent on leave from the residential establishment, either runs away from the person in whose charge he is or fails to return to the establishment at the end of his leave; he may be arrested without a warrant in any part of the United Kingdom or the Channel Islands and brought back— (i) in a case falling within paragraph (b) to the place from which he absconded; or (ii) where he has run away from the person mentioned in paragraph (c), to that person; or (iii) in any case, to the residential establishment ; and a court, if satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the child is within any premises, may grant a search warrant authorising a constable to search those premises for the child.

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.

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.
