A new campaign to help parents better understand gaming safety issues has been launched with the backing of video gaming giant Electronic Arts.
The Play Together/Play Smart initiative comes as almost six out of 10 adults (58%) revealed they are unaware of the parental controls available on consoles, according to an Internet Matters survey of 2,000 people.
Despite increasing concern around how much time children spend playing games and video gaming with strangers, only 42% said they actually speak to their children about safety.
