Stops me going in for changes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emends

'changes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stops me going in' is the wordplay.
'stops' becomes 'ends' ('end' can be a synonym of 'stop').
'going in' is an insertion indicator.
'ends' going around 'me' is 'EMENDS'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for emends that I've seen before include "Alters written material to remove errors" , "Corrects and improves the text" , "Changes" , "Send me (anag.); corrects" , "Makes corrections in written material" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
