It's possible that the family plan does work on all rates. It might also not be possible to book online. I tried a dummy booking on the UK site, I picked two rooms, but would not allow me to select 0 adults/2 children in the second. FWIW, I've used corp rates before when I took my family on business trips with me, so it might not raise any flags.
I've searched a bit, and found three references to the 2nd room half price deal for kids.
The first one is on the UK site, and seems to be a permanent deal. The T&C page is very sparse, other than listing a couple dozen properties that are excluded (mostly island resorts and middle east hotels). Not that it matters in this specific instance, but this would imply that the rate is generally available outside of the UK.
The other two are on the US site, and are time limited promotions, ending Dec. 31. (
