The Windrush Compensation Scheme and the Home Office must be examined through both official evidence and the experiences of those affected. This section records announcements, reports and developments relating to compensation, status and the continuing impact of the Hostile Environment.
Compensation and claims
Delays, evidence requirements, reviews and the effect of decisions on claimants are subjects of continuing reporting. Published figures and government statements will be identified by date and source; victims’ experiences will be clearly labelled as personal accounts.
Official documents and reporting
- Windrush Compensation Scheme – current government guidance
- Windrush Scheme – documents proving the right to live in the UK
- Independent Windrush Commissioner – published announcements
- UK Parliament – committee reports, hearings and evidence
Links to government or official bodies are provided as primary sources. They do not imply endorsement of their handling of victims’ cases.
Record your experience
People directly affected by the compensation or documentation schemes can submit their experiences for review. Do not publish claim reference numbers, full addresses, identity documents or details identifying another person without their consent.
