The “Windrush Compensation – Securing Your Rights” workshop is a vital opportunity for those impacted by the Windrush scandal to gain clear, practical guidance on accessing justice and support.
Led by the Windrush Engagement Team, the session is designed to help individuals navigate the government’s compensation scheme and resolve outstanding documentation issues.
Participants will receive expert advice on their rights, the claims process, and the types of losses that may be eligible for compensation—ranging from employment and housing to education, healthcare, and more. The workshop offers a supportive environment where attendees can ask questions freely, address uncertainties, and dispel widespread myths surrounding the scheme.
One-to-one support will also be available, allowing individuals to discuss their personal circumstances in confidence with trained advisors. This tailored guidance ensures that each case is considered with care, helping attendees understand what evidence is needed and what steps to take.
The Windrush scandal caused significant hardship for many who were wrongly denied their legal rights in the UK. This workshop is part of ongoing efforts to provide affected individuals and their families with the tools and information they need to move forward with dignity.
Above all, this is a space for empowerment—supporting people to secure justice, reclaim their place in the country they call home, and ensure that the mistakes of the past are acknowledged and addressed.
