JNCC, statutory adviser to Government on nature conservation, have
compiled a useful and convenient spreadsheet listing all of the species
in the UK with a conservation status designation (Red List, Birds of
Conservations Concern, W&CA, and so on) along with detail on what
designations apply to which species.

You can download the spreadsheet here:

Some blurb from the website:

Over the past thirty years, numerous lists of conservation status have
been produced - Red Lists, Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Lists,
species listed on European Directives, species listed on the Schedules
of the Wildlife & Countryside Act, together with lists of rare and
scarce species. There is considerable overlap between these and some
species appear on several of them - for example the otter Lutra lutra,
and the marsh saxifrage Saxifraga hirculus have as many as six "badges".
JNCC has attempted to collate many of the current lists into one place
and make this available to users as a downloadable spreadsheet of
species designations.
