I’m interested to hear the type of institution and age range of students with whom you are having 1 to 1 video calls. I’m a teacher in an 11-18 secondary school in the U.K., and we have been instructed to avoid 1 to 1s with students as a safeguarding risk.

I’m not casting any aspersions here, I’m only interested in comparing notes with a fellow teacher.

University students, graduate and undergraduate.

1 to 1's are totally common and accepted in a university setting. You're generally supposed to leave your office door open (when having them in person), but otherwise this doesn't raise any eyebrows.

(U.S. here and didn't recognize the term, link for others' convenience)

Safeguarding is a term used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to denote measures to protect the health, well-being and human rights of individuals, which allow people — especially children, young people and vulnerable adults — to live free from abuse, harm and neglect.

I'm not a teacher but my sister in law is. Her day is now just 1 on 1 with each of her students back to back. They are all under 13.

In general it's not considered a risk because their parents are usually nearby if not actually on the call.

Probably, graduation and post-grad students.

In undergrad 1 to 1 also happens, but they are less frequent.

Office hours usually end up 1 on 1 too.
