Recommendation 27

27 Deferred Paragraph: 90

Comprehensive workflow analysis required to address Windrush scheme delays and inefficiencies.

Conclusion
The Home Office must build on the work of the NAO and undertake a comprehensive analysis of its current workflow system to identify precisely where and why bottlenecks, backward steps, inefficient processes and slow decisions are occurring. It must interrogate these findings rigorously and be prepared to act swiftly and boldly to address causes of delay, including updates to caseworker training and guidance and, where necessary, the scheme rules.
