Advice on redployment and part-time work

Hi, I was recently advised that I have been unsuccessful in re-applying for my role due to a restructure and have been put into a redeployment pool for 3 months (at the end of which if no other suitable role is found I am made redundant). I work part-time (in a largely full-time environment) and am concerned that if a suitable alternative role is found for me but which is f/t, that I would have no right to turn it down.
Having just returned to work from mat leave, and with 2 small children, working f/t is not an option for me.
Does anyone have any advice please?

Suitable would mean the same or no less favourable terms and conditions, so if you are part time, the role would need to be part time as well, and you couldn't be penalised for saying that a full time role isn't suitable.

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to get a definitive answer from my HR, however it does say on our intranet that a 'comparable' role could involve a change of location and/or hours of work and that refusal of such a role could negate eligibility for redundancy payment?
