To encourage her to complain about this

[Canwe666]

When dd was an inpatient she had restraint that caused bruising all down her arms. She always says that they throw her to the floor which was a hard surface.

she didnt want to be restrained so surely she remembered that last time they got her under her arms so this time she ensured they couldnt do that....did she not make it difficult for them?

hope she's doing well now op. what a worry for you

I understand this is distressing, but it depends if it was proportionate to manage the risks. Could you encourage your DD to ask why, rather than a compliant at least in the first instance?

The staff who destroyer would be fully trained. I understand that you don’t feel your DD would ever hurt anyone but under such circumstances we are all capable of a lot of things. If your DD was struggling the staff would have had to use a certain about of force, which they would only do if absolutely necessary to manage the situation and stop your DD from hurting herself

If the staff who restrained your DD not destroyer

How awful
You say she's not aggressive and trying to escape
I don't think they restrain anyone who can be persuaded in other ways
I just hope she is ok.. must be very tough ... always better to question
There may be CCTV or witness accounts ?

@Vursayles

Don’t complain. I work in that sector and it’s bloody awful what the staff have to manage on a daily basis just to try and keep the patients safe. They all adhere to restraint policy and it’s incredibly rare to have any issues with this - staff do not physically harm patients just for the fun of it.

I’ve seen colleagues bitten, punched, head butted, vomited on..... they still have to adhere to policy when laying hands on. Please try and see it from their point of view. I really hope your daughter is ok.

The only relevant part of this post is ‘ they still have to adhere to policy when laying hands on’. If the OP and/or her daughter feel the staff haven’t adhered to policy, they should complain. If the staff have done nothing wrong, they have nothing to fear from the complaint.

OP you have made quite a few threads regarding your DD being in an inpatient unit recently and the treatment she received.

You have been given a lot of very good advice already and I think you would do better to have a formal review with your daughters MH team than asking strangers on the Internet
