Schools have been urged to tackle the "underestimated" issue of sexual abuse and harassment among students.
Cllr Kath Loftus has tabled a motion demanding action after officials at Halton Borough Council made it "clear" that the reporting of incidents in education establishments was “not as open as it should be”.
Her call, seconded by Cllr Irene Bramwell, is to be discussed at full council at Runcorn Town Hall on March 2.
