answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2022 answer text <p>In response to Recommendation 2 of the Windrush Lessons Learned Review, Wendy Williams returned to the Department in September 2021 to review our progress in implementing the recommendations of that Review and the commitments we made in the Comprehensive Improvement Plan. Her Progress Update was published in March this year.</p><p>Wendy concludes there is no doubt the Department has risen to the challenge she set for us, and she acknowledges there are several areas where very good progress has been made. Wendy also rightly holds us to account where we have not made sufficient progress. We know there is more to do.</p><p>The progress update does not include new recommendations and we will continue to drive forward progress on Wendy’s original 30 recommendations. Having laid the foundations for radical change in the department and a total transformation of culture, we are committed to delivering long-lasting and meaningful improvements.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 24/05/2022 09:23:25 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster previous answer version 2242 answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to Recommendation 6 of the Windrush Lessons Learned Review, what progress her Department has made on a comprehensive learning and development programme.
tabling member constituency	Liverpool, Walton
tabling member printed	Dan Carden
uin	154331
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2022 answer text <p>Responding to the findings of the Wendy Williams review is a departmental priority. The Home Office sought to address both the letter and the spirit of Wendy’s findings, by developing a bespoke learning offer, rather than purchasing ‘off-the-shelf learning products’ or relying on centrally available learning products. This is a complex programme which has necessitated an extensive programme of activity to deliver alongside a thorough learning needs analysis.</p><p>Recommendation 6 learning materials are in the final stages. The training will cover the history of the UK and its relationship with the rest of the world, including content on migration and its history, legacies of empire and colonialization. It will be delivered to staff via a blend of online materials and a workshop, accompanied by supporting reflective materials.</p><p>We have taken the time to robustly test the learning via pilots last year and content is being iterated to reflect the findings prior to its launch from Spring / Summer 2022.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 21/04/2022 15:16:38 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2022 answer text <p>The Nationality and Borders Bill, including Clause 11 relating to the differentiation policy of refugees, is not yet law.

This will be a series of pages linking to historical Windrush related resources on the Home Office intranet page, available to all Home Office staff members. This follows increased and extended consultation, which was considered necessary ahead of the launch.</p><p>Consultation, scoping and build is underway to develop the full range of bite-sized, blended learning products with experts from external organisations and academia informing content design and considerations.</p><p>Further materials and resources will become available for staff across the summer period to build momentum and boost conversations.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2021 answer text <p>I am committed to deliver lasting and meaningful change across the entire Home Office so that it represents all the communities it serves. Work continues at pace to implement all the recommendations in the Windrush Lessons Learned Review as well as wider cultural change in the department to fully address the findings of the report. We are putting people at the heart of the reforms we are making in the Department and Wendy Williams will return to the department to review progress in September when I am confident she will see significant progress in delivering her recommendations.</p><p>In line with the lessons learnt from Windrush, we have designed the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) to ensure it is accessible to all those who are eligible and is focussed on providing an easy and user-friendly way for individuals to make an application.</p><p>This includes using every possible channel to encourage everyone who is eligible for the EUSS to apply. The Home Office is currently working with HMRC and DWP to send letters to EU, EEA and Swiss citizens who receive benefits, but it appears are yet to apply to the EUSS. These letters seek to encourage recipients to apply to the EUSS to protect their existing rights in the UK before the deadline of 30 June 2021.</p><p>In trying to reach as many people as possible, there may be a small number of instances where these letters are sent to recipients who are naturalised as a British citizen. The letter may also be received by a small number of individuals who have already applied to the EUSS, for example because they applied after the initial exercise with DWP or HMRC was completed, but before the letter was sent out. The letter makes clear that anyone who is a British citizen or already has EUSS status does not need to take any action.</p><p>As of 30 April 2021, 4.9m grants of status had been made. The Home Office urges anyone eligible for the EUSS to apply before the 30 June deadline to ensure their rights are protected following the end of the grace period.</p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 26/05/2021 14:08:08 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
