    Because of the way she has been treated she just doesn't want to be there now.

    So in effect she has been forced out and the business has got what they wanted, no matter of the effects to the employee who is the innocent party in this.

    Wanting to take the company to a tribunal at a later date, is more of making the company realise that they cannot treat staff with this sort of contempt, at the end of the day this is a persons life that is being messed up.

    I will find out more today, because there is another meeting.

    This thread is a perfect example of why it is not helpful to post on another person's behalf, and how providing confused and misleading information leads to confused and incorrect advice!

    OP you started this thread presenting this as your own problem, in which you were asking for advice on a potential constructive dismissal issue, and making references to voluntary redundancy.

    It now seems that the person concerned is not in fact yourself, but a friend and the complaint about being offered 'voluntary redundancy' was a complete red herring, since it seems that the business is going through a restructuring/reorganisation process which is likely to mean that they will need fewer employees to carry out the same work. In one of your later posts you throw in an allegation of potential sex discrimination, inferring that you believe the real reason for the changes is that the employer is engineering the situation because it prefers to employ male employees to female employees.

    In my view, your confused drip feeding of incorrect information, supposition, and speculation makes it impossible for anyone on here to provide any sensible advice.
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    Take it as you will.

    I have come on asking for a bit of advice, I have said that my description and narrative of what is going on isn't great, which I have already apologised for.

    From the off, I made it clear it wasn't me but somebody else, but I found it easier to write as myself, which has obviously confused some people.

    Any questions or further information that has been requested of me I have tried to answer and provide.

    The basics of everything is in the thread, but I am the first to admit, it is just a bit of a mess.
