My experience of this - with BA and other airlines - is that they are VERY flexible. They would rather keep your money than issue a refund, so if it's better for you to shift the flights by 10 days rather than 1, then I suspect you'll be fine.
here's the BA line on cancellations....
If a customer’s flight (Commercial or redemption) is cancelled, then the following conditions of carriage can be applied to BA125 tickets
Rebook onto the next available BA or IB ( if AJB routing use BA, BA*AA, BA*IB, BA*AY or SJB BA*JL flight) to the same destination (same cities/can be different airports), within 3-day period before or a 14-day period after the scheduled departure time of the original flight. If the same booking class is not available then the lowest class in the same cabin may be booked. If required the ticket validity may be extended.
OR
Rebook onto a BA or IB (if AJB routing BA, BA*AA, BA*IB, BA*AY or SJB BA*JL flight) to the same destination (same cities/can be different airports), more than 3-days before or more than 15-days after the scheduled departure time of the original flight. Rebook in the same class and cabin. Travel must take place within the ticket validity of the original ticket purchased. (If booked on BA*AA , BA*IB or BA*AY and you are changing to a different operating carrier, please check the class mapping)
