Windrush Scandal: More European applicants granted status than Jamaicans through Windrush Scheme windrushscandal
MORE PEOPLE from European countries have had their status regularised through the Windrush Scheme than people from Jamaica, according to the latest official figures.
Vernon added: “It highlights no efforts have been made to engage with the African community around their status in the UK or internationally.” In May 2018, the Windrush Scheme was launched to ensure members of the Windrush generation could get the documentation they need to prove their right to be in the UK, free of charge.
Vernon said the figures could also demonstrate that the EU Settlement Scheme – a process for EU nationals and their family members who wanted to stay in the UK after Brexit – is not working The campaigner believes this could create a further scandal in the future, with those who have been refused status on these grounds, eventually being deported.
