Windrush Scheme
About Windrush Scheme
The Windrush Scheme exists to confirm the lawful status of Commonwealth citizens who have been long settled in the UK, along with certain children and grandchildren. Many people in this group already have the right to be here but lack the paperwork to prove it. The scheme can provide documentation, settlement or citizenship, and in some cases compensation. RakLAW assists Windrush-generation families with sensitivity, gathering long-standing residence evidence and presenting a complete picture to the Home Office.
Who this is for
- Commonwealth nationals long settled in the UK
- Children and grandchildren of Windrush-generation arrivals
- Those denied work, housing or benefits over status
- Applicants seeking documentation, settlement or citizenship
