You can't (technically) make a person redundant, only a position. If there is no need for a role or a number of positions fulfilling a role then you can begin the process of redundancy.
In either case the company must prove that the person/people being considered for dismissal could not be found a role elsewhere in the company.
That's why companies like to do compromise agreements (voluntary redundancy) as they can basically make you sign a disclaimer from filing a claim for unfair dismissal if the company decides to replace you.
