Redundancy push-back question.

I 'm a videographer in the marketing department of my company. I've been informed by my line manager that I am “at risk of redundancy,” and that the entire marketing department may be made redundant due to cost concerns.

I've since become aware that the company has already begun outsourcing videography work to external freelance videographers. This appears to have been taking place over the past month behind my back. My employer has stated that my role is at risk because they are unable to justify the cost of employing me in-house.

Given that my role appears to be actively being replaced by freelancers while I am being placed at risk of redundancy, I am concerned about whether this is a genuine redundancy situation and whether the consultation process is being conducted fairly.

I’d like advice on whether this situation is likely to count as a genuine redundancy? Does outsourcing my work to freelancers impact the legitimacy of the redundancy process? If so is there grounds to challenge the process is? Can I pushback to get a bigger redundancy package?
