Ireland Scotland Alba Wales Cymru Isle of Man Guernsey Jersey Local News Partners to be quizzed in new gun licence screening Image caption, Domestic abuse survivor Rhiannon Bragg helped police design the questionnaire Kathryn Stanczyszyn BBC News Published 7 hours ago The partners of all gun licence applicants are being asked questions for the first time as five police forces in England and Wales seek to strengthen licensing processes. The forces - Gwent, the Metropolitan Police, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire - are testing a questionnaire designed to build a more detailed picture of anyone who wants to own a gun, with a particular focus on domestic abuse. The initiative, called Project Titanium, has been developed by Gwent Police with the help of domestic abuse survivors. It has already resulted in some applications being refused or existing licences being revoked. Insp Jodie Davies, from the force's firearms licensing team, said: “We are absolutely not saying applicants will be domestic abuse perpetrators, but any opportunity to gather information is welcome. "We've had one case where the partner was contacted and stated that she couldn't speak to the firearms officer at her home because she was being controlled and coerced. "The officer met with her in a different location, she disclosed a number of serious concerns, that licence was then refused and we were able to put safeguarding in place for that person." Image caption, Police say public safety is the priority when it comes to reviewing applications Gun licences are currently reviewed every five years, but campaigner Emma Ambler is among those who want to see stricter controls such as annual reviews. Her sister Kelly Fitzgibbons and her two daughters were shot dead in Sussex in 2020 by partner Robert Needham, a licensed gun holder who then killed himself. The Project Titanium questionnaire is not a legal requirement but applicants who refuse to engage or share their partner’s details can face an automatic refusal. More than 5,000 applications have been subject to the additional questions since the trial began last year. Insp Davies said: "We’ve had seven cases during this trial where we've either refused or revoked a licence; that is seven cases that potentially could have gone on to domestic abuse homicide." Public safety Gwent Police said its firearms licensing officers were trained to risk assess scenarios which may raise red flags about an applicant. It said partners were interviewed alone, either in person or in vision remotely, to make sure their answers were as truthful as possible. Even when there was a risk someone may not be able to be honest due to their domestic circumstances, the force said it opened an avenue of communication with police they may feel able to use in the future. Rhianon Bragg, 51, was held overnight in August 2019 by her former partner, who began stalking her when she ended the five-year relationship. She has helped police design the questionnaire. She said: "If Titanium was in existence at the time and I’d been asked the questions, even though I didn’t realise I was in an abusive relationship, the way the questions have been formulated may have started a thought process with me, thinking hang on I'm experiencing this - but it would absolutely have rung alarm bells for any officer that I was speaking to. "Despite everything I've experienced I'm not anti-shooting. This is absolutely about having people who are responsible gun owners, responsible with their weapons and how they use them, who realise it is a privilege."
