Roshan Pitteea has spent most of his adult life working in the safeguarding area. After completing his MA in Social Work at the University of Bradford in 2011, he worked for Leeds City Council as a child protection social worker. Roshan quickly attained Advanced Practitioner status due to his work on several complex cases. He also developed a specialism for interviewing and assessing child sex offenders, consolidating this with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Forensic Psychology & Behavioural Analysis.

With his love of creative writing and a fertile imagination that skews towards the macabre, a book like Care & Control from Roshan was inevitable. He has used his knowledge of social work, psychology, and crime to develop authentic characters who move within a gritty backdrop that will feel familiar to anyone who knows the North of England.

Roshan is keen to explore contemporary societal issues such as child welfare, abuse, and discrimination through his writing. His interest in intersectionality can be seen within the diverse characters of his fictional universe.
