The Windrush Status Scheme and Windrush Compensation Scheme were set up to allow those harmed by the Windrush Scandal to seek redress. Unfortunately, the schemes are not easy to navigate, especially for those who have been traumatised by the scandal. Thankfully, there are a number of individuals, community organisations, Law Centres, University Legal Clinics and law firms that are spread across the country who provide advice, support, or representation to help claimants with their Windrush applications.
We have developed an interactive map that will assist those in seeking the help they need when making an initial Windrush Scheme application, challenging a compensation award at Tier 1 or Tier 2, or making a complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, as there was no central place for those who want to easily access the valuable support.
If you know of anyone who provides support who we have not included in the interactive map, please let us know.
We hope you find this tool useful. If you do, please share it on social media and tag us @blackequityorg.
You can use the map by typing in your postcode, selecting which service you require, and the distance you are willing to travel. Many organisations offer virtual sessions which will appear too.
