Propose a change

Academies 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.

What to do with it
As published

9 Impact: new and expanded educational institutions

(1) This section applies if the Secretary of State is deciding whether to enter into Academy arrangements in relation to— (a) a new educational institution, or (b) an existing educational institution that, if the arrangements are entered into, will provide education for pupils of a wider range of ages. except where the institution, if the arrangements are entered into, is to be a secure 16 to 19 Academy. (2) The Secretary of State must take into account what the impact of entering into the arrangements would be likely to be on maintained schools, Academies, institutions within the further education sector and alternative provision in the area in which the institution is proposed to be, or is, situated. (3) An educational institution is not new for the purposes of this section if— (a) it replaces one or more maintained schools, Academies or sixth form colleges that have been or are to be discontinued, and (b) it provides education for persons of the same range of ages as the institution it replaces (or, as the case may be, the institutions it replaces, taken together). (4) “Alternative provision” means educational provision for which a local authority has made arrangements under section 19 of EA 1996 (exceptional provision of education in pupil referral units or elsewhere).

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.
