The bottom line is they have to get it past a jury. The Crown Prosecution Service, will look at a scene and have to ask themselves if they can get a jury of 12 men and women to convict. In the 70s and 80s porn trials fell apart because the jury did not get perverted watching a porn movie. This will be in the same situation.

So if it's just a bit of submission, bondage, spanking, etc it's fine. When it gets to people being seriously harmed the viewer like the producer is now in trouble. The final decision rests with the 12 men good and true. Plus the UK press, the papers will have a field day if the CPS get it wrong.
