Yes, tortoises are legal pets in the UK, but there are certain species that are protected and require specific permits or licenses to keep. The Hermann's tortoise and the Greek spur-thighed tortoise, for example, require an Article 10 certificate under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) regulations.
If something or someone was to hurt the tortoises, it could go into its shell and be protected. Because of their hard, strong shell they would be protected from almost anything. Hope this helped!
