My understanding is that unless you have a redundancy settlement build into your contract of employment you'll only be entitled to the statutory amount after a qualifying period (generally two years). You are only entitled to redundancy pay if you are aged 20 or over.

You can work out your statutory redundancy entitlement here [aebc.gov.uk]. As you'll see it's nothing to get excited about...
