Yvette Cooper announces funding as part of a 'fundamental reset' of the Windrush scandal response.
Windrush campaigners have expressed concern that the home secretary has yet to announce when she will implement a key recommendation from the government’s review.
A Home Office source described the changes as the “first set of announcements on Windrush since the election,” adding that the focus had been on priorities highlighted by campaigners and victims.The Windrush Review's report, published by Wendy Williams in 2020, made 30 recommendations which were all adopted by then home secretary Priti Patel.
Following a legal challenge by Windrush victim Trevor Donald, a judge in June condemned Braverman's actions as unlawful and “conspicuously unfair". A Home Office source said this was the “first set of announcements on Windrush since the election” and said the focus had been on priorities raised by campaigners and victims.
One said that the chief inspector needs to “have teeth” and be able to hold ministers to account “in a proper way”.Campaigners said that Cooper had made it clear there were still parts of the Home Office that needed to change.
