Advice please

I applied for a promotion, was told last week that I've not been shortlisted. I asked for the score sheet for the short listing and there's a number of discrepancy and a clear bias in the low scoring. Is it even worth challenging this with HR?
Anyway, I also applied for a secondment and have been given. an interview . Potential new role is same grade as I'm on now but with a different team and is for 1 year. It's all year round rather than term time only and 2 days in office rather than current fully WFH. Would I be foolish to move even though I feel like any progression in current team is being blocked.

re new job - you’d have to work out how long it would take to commute two days and how much it would cost. and how much childcare would cost over thw holidays. and then see which job suits you better.

i’m absolutely would challenge what you've found with HR. nicely obv.

The reality is you’re unlikely to get shortlisted and if you fight via hr they may be forced to interview you but it’ll be a waste of time. If they know you and wanted you then they’d have shortlisted you.

I’d go for the secondment to expand skills and open up new possibilities. Good luck!

You're getting ahead of yourself - you have an interview for rhetorical secondment so you need to focus on that. If you want to challenge the results of the other interview that's one thing, but don't conflate the two.

Thanks, I don't have childcare commitments, ended up as term time only when I did and now ds is an adult but as current role is education admin it's term time only. Cost of the commute would be around £10 a week as it's still local to home.
