hello, does anyone know the precise criteria regarding who gets first choice if wanting to be made up from part time to full time,i presume seniority is taken into account ,but if someone as been fulltime previously -in this case 12 years ago- after a buy down of hours - can they still be considered thanks

Morally, maybe not. However that’s how seniority works. More fool RM for getting shafted.
