Yes you will write of your setting's policies and procedures, but your assessor wants you to then write about something that you carry out (or would do if a situation arose).
So you could write of the practice you follow in your setting. A classic at the moment is what are setting's doing about practitoner's mobile phones in the light of the Vanessa George case?
Is your setting banning them? locking them away? or placing them in view of everyone ? (if you operate in one room)
You can see by this that all settings will have a diffrent policy and practice, so you could write of what you do in your setting.
Your setting may have two outside gates to access your setting - how do you ensure that your children are safeguarded?
This is the sort of thing she wants you to write of to show you understand your policy and procedures and how would you go about it. It is to make sure you are not just printing them off, saying we have this policy, but not reading them through and/or understanding them and your responsibilites.
If you read all the policies as you are asking for them for your course, this will be a good opportunity for you to see if you think they are correct for your setting, or whether something needs to be changed or added i.e. The Vanessa George case and you could suggest to your manager that you all need to look at a policy or two.
