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.
