    What % of salary is £10k

    The term you are looking to research is suitable alternative

    30% is probably enough to make it not a suitable alternative.

    It may be the company don't force people into alternatives anyway what's their history in these situations?

    I'd take redundancy. The next round of redundancy will be based on the reduced salary. If you're in a final salary scheme (unlikely but still remotely possible) then you'd also be taking a 30% hit on your pension.
