Is there a good site on redundancy for an employer?

[eyeshade]

I have been on the ACAS site but this is very much biased towards an employee, is there a good site that can advise employers about redundancy and what rights they have?

ACAS will assist employers as well - have you tried contacting them. They will give you information about the law and good practice guides (I suspect) but they won't give you consultancy or advice about what to do in a specific situation. You have to employ your own legal advisor to do that.
What is the (broad) situation you are considering?

We have a part timer that is supposed to be doing a certain job, she is not doing this in accordance with her job description, she "chooses" what she wants to do. She has spent the majority of this year off sick with "alledged" stress and as this job is no longer being done, the organisation (and it is a very tiny one, 3 full time, 1 part time) wish to make this position redundant and completely restructure the department, making a full time job to take in others. In effect the part time job will not exist but a new full time job will. That is it in the main.

Here's some stuff to get you started from the web. Both these documents have been produced to assist employers in the respective areas to deal with potential redundancy situations. The key thing, which you will see from reading and on which so many organisations fall foul of, is ensuring that you follow a fair PROCESS.
I guess you are aware that employees don't have much in the way of employment rights to unfair dismissal until 12 months continuous service has been racked up (the main exceptions are racial discrimination and pregnency) . And that employees don't have a right to redundancy payments until after 2 years service. You still declare redundancy as the (fair) reason for termination of contract and give notice (or pay up in lieu of notice) - but no other payments legally required.
Post again if this isn't helping.
