Firstly, the Government established a compensation scheme to compensate those affected by the scandal. This is a significant step towards acknowledging the harm done and providing some form of redress for the victims. Secondly, the Government has introduced reforms to the immigration system to prevent similar scandals from happening in the future. Finally, the Government has launched a national Windrush Day to celebrate the contributions of the Windrush generation to British society.
