In the US and outside of class B airspace, it is the pilot, not ATC,
who
is ultimately responsible for IFR/VFR traffic separation. A VFR
traffic
advisory to an IFR aircraft is a courtesy offered by ATC; it is not a
guarantee.

I thought Class C services included IFR/VFR separation. Is that old/wrong
information?
