Ron Harpney

Ron Harpney is the former head care worker at Brookside.
== Biography ==
=== The Dumping Ground: Series 2 ===
Ron originally arrived as the head care-worker of Brookside Children's Home, replacing Sarah, he took an immediate reluctant attitude towards Hattie and Grace and became best friends with Gina.
Ron deep down cares for the residents, especially the little ones like Holly, Leo, Toni or Billie. However, he can also be very strict and stressed out, especially when the Blackarts take advantage of his job or trying to get the others in trouble.
People tend to criticize Ron's lack of humor, mainly Liam, Frank and Gina. Ron crossly denies this, as he admits that he, like any other people are always trying to find a good laugh.
When a care-working legend named Lydia Dillon comes to the Dumping Ground, Ron decides to take a few days off. Alison hires him to play the lead role in her 1950's inspired play. However, when Alison argues with Ron about not being able to get into character, he becomes cross and snaps at her. This stuns Alison and he gets the role. 
After the play Ron returns to Brookside, only to find out that the kids, mainly Amelia and Ryan have scared off Lydia. He then agrees to the kids that he will never leave them with another head care-worker again.
It is unknown what happened to Ron after Series 2. However, his role as Head care worker was given back to Mike Milligan and May Li (who replaced Gina)
