Episode Details

The Windrush compensation scheme is failing survivors, with nearly 60% of claims denied — a broken system that forces victims to relive trauma and prove their suffering repeatedly. Independent commissioner Clive Foster demands a major overhaul, including funded legal aid, to match the standards of other victim compensation programs like those for the Post Office and infected blood scandals. He warns the current process is too complex and evidence-heavy, leaving many unsupported despite the tireless work of advocates. Foster argues the Home Office should not be the one compensating its own mistakes — and urges ministers to act fast to deliver justice and fairer outcomes for those wrongfully targeted.
