HM Inspector of Constabulary Wendy Williams led the Independent Review into the Windrush Scandal, which concluded that “hundreds, and possibly thousands of people” in the Windrush Generation suffered because of failures in every element of modern government. The review further exposed fundamental issues within the UK’s immigration system and wider failures of policy making, bureaucracy, law and political leadership.

Wendy Williams discusses what went wrong, what needs to change and what lessons the UK government has learned with Joe Owen, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.
