MPs condemn Home Office over new Windrush failings
Report highlights failure to support those affected, with systemic problems still evident
[...]
Officials are still unable to say when a compensation scheme will be launched; meanwhile, many of those affected are in dire financial circumstances caused by periods of enforced unemployment, the removal of unemployment benefits, and debts run up trying to pay legal bills and Home Office fees; some remain homeless.
The report also found that:
The Home Office displayed a lack of concern for the impacts of its immigration policies on people without documents, compounding this with a systemic failure to keep accurate records, leaving many people who are British citizens struggling to prove their right to be in the UK.
There were numerous examples of the department doing “as little, rather than as much, as possible to find and help people affected by its actions”.
The Home Office was failing in its duty of care to identify and support everyone affected by the Windrush scandal. Greater attention should be given to large numbers of non-Caribbean victims.
Officials have been “woefully complacent” in promoting the existence of the Windrush scheme, which works to help affected people get their papers, particularly internationally.
British ethnic minorities remained vulnerable to being discriminated against by hostile environment policies that require landlords and employers to check documentation.
The Windrush failures had “major implications for the future as the UK prepares to leave the EU”.
