BREAKING: New data shows compensation scheme is failing Windrush generation on eve of 75th anniversary

The shockingly low number of people who have been able to access compensation through the Windrush Compensation Scheme is underlined today through new data from human rights charity Praxis, ahead of the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the Empire Windrush.

A survey of Praxis’ current and former clients thought to be eligible for compensation as victims of the Windrush scandal highlights the low numbers who are actually able to obtain recompense.

It has taken more than a year to get satisfactory offers for all of those who have applied bar one – for most, the clock is still ticking.
