A £1.5m fund has been launched to encourage individuals affected by the Windrush scandal to seek compensation, as the government acknowledges that many victims have felt intimidated by Home Office officials. The compensation scheme, initiated in 2019, has faced significant criticism due to long processing delays, inadequate payment offers, and the absence of legal aid for claimants, alongside concerns about its management by the department responsible for the scandal. This new initiative aims to address these barriers and facilitate greater engagement from victims seeking redress.
