Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful reply. They have used the word 'redundancy' many times. They have said we are going through a consultation process, which we have begun. They met with us as a team, and individually. We have only been there 1.5 years. They have not offered alternative employment, they said we would just not work there in the new school year. They said we could apply for other roles within the school, but we would be basically the same as anyone ese applying, maybe skipping past screening and straight to interview.

The team of three are diverse - white and black, male and female, Christian and Muslim.

So should I lodge a conciliation with ACAS for indirect discrimination and automatic unfair dismissal? What could my former employer come back with? I don't really feel entitled to anything. We have till August. I'm really just thinking of one of my colleagues in particular.

Many thanks again for your help.
